Exemestane side effects
Hi lovelies, I have not posted in a while.
Diagnosed last November invasive ductal carcinoma. Had a lumpectomy and it was hormone postive, so had chemo 3 rounds, had to cancel the last round as reacted badly. Then radiation which was fine. Now started on the exemestane tablets daily and zolodex injections. Now developed unexplained high blood pressure, and for me it's always been on the low side. So now GP has put me on BP medications. I don't know what's next.
For someone who hated taking any medications except for the odd Panadol, I am just exhausted and as to how many more medicines I will have to take to counter the side effects of what I am on for the cancer. On top off this there is pressure to remove my ovaries.
Sometimes I feel regret at finding the dam lump.in the first place.
Sorry about the rant.
