Hi Zoffiel
Thankyou so much for your response.I feel a lot better about changing.When I got home and read the list of side effects I totally freaked out. I was on Arimidex for 5 years before recurrence .I gained 10kilos had mild bone pain for the first year and insomnia was the pits.
I’ve just had a months break post surgery and feel great,Have actually slept really well for the first time in years..Onc did give me the choice of Tamoxifen ,so not sure now which is the lesser of two evils.Blood clots and stroke aren’t that appealing either.
LOL, I’m rocking the muffin top as well 😂,apparently estrogen suppresses the enzyme LPL activity on fat cells ,so no estrogen = MuffinTop.
I enjoy weights too,They really helped me regain strength both physically and mentally.Can’t lift atm as I’ve had the muscle removed down to the chest wall but will definitely get back into it .
