Decisions

Thank you very much Robyn W,  your comments were really helpful.   My onc says she is thinking 2 and half years on Tamoxifen and then follow with the same for the Aromatase inhibitor, then reassess.  The reality is that's what we are being offered here and now. I don't feel as panicky as I did and I guess now I just need to get on with it and get the script filled for Tamoxifen.   The doctors and my breast care nurse are very supportive so hopefully any side effects can be managed well.  I am having a bone density test in a few weeks and am hoping that the results will be good.  My greatest fear with side effects of treatment is the bone and joint pain as earlier this year, for approx 3 months I had a severe sudden onset of arthritic type pain from shoulders to fingers - couldn't even pull the quilt up on my bed.  I had treatment and the pain, apart from slight sensations occasionally, has gone.  I am no longer on any medication for it.  There is much to be grateful for, so thanks for giving me an extra dose of courage!  Hoping you have a good day!  Sending a big hug!
