@"Kiwi Angel" I have what I hope will be my final visit to my oncologist tomorrow, 12 months after starting chemo. I say final because I have no confidence in him and plan to find someone else. My breast surgeon "the ice maiden" doesn't want to see me for another 12 months, like I can wait that long. The one I really bonded with was the radiologist, and she said she'd order me a scan or ultrasound as soon as I wanted and as often as I wanted (obviously, within reason) and that has made me feel less anxious. She also said to find a new breast surgeon before 12 months is up.
I've been on Arimidex for 3 weeks now and don't feel any different. All the symptoms are things I already have from chemo so nothing new in the way of aches and pains. You probs won't notice the Tamoxofin but I wasn't offered any reprieve. The oncologist wanted me to start taking the AI during radiation but the radiologist wouldn't let him prescribe it!
