Final chemo Jan 7

Thanks for your good wishes. Yes I'm doing okay. Chemo finished in jan. and my energy levels are really good again now. Have been on Tamoxifen for almost 2 months and to date the only issues are the hot flushes - quite mild during the day and usually one or 2 hot ones during the night. These had started already during chemo and so can't blame the Tamoxifen and it isn't any worse at least. My naturopath has given me some tablets too so these may be helping a bit. I'm about the see a plastic surgeon who will do reconstruction and I will probably have my other breast removed, so I will end up with an even pair and hopefully eliminate the risk of cancer coming in my other breast. I'm experiencing some aches in my chest area where my breast was removed. I hoping it's nothing serious - it shouldn't be cancer if the breast tissue is all gone ?? The pain is only occasional and mild so hopefully it is just muscular or scar tissue - it may even be from my prosthesis. I will try to pluck up the courage to ring my breast care nurse. I think too when you are on chemo, there is so much other ailments going on, now these have subsided I'm picking up on every other ache and pain. I'm looking forward to having this reconstruction done so I can forget/move on from this. Hopefully my hair will grow enough soon to get rid of the wig too! Glad to hear you are keeping well. You are my inspiration that life will go on for some years yet!! All the best, Di
