Good luck with it all Marg. I am sure you will breeze through it. Just remember to cream as much as possible and to rest after you have had a cool shower. I had no problems throughout my 20 treatments over 4 weeks it was only after I finished that I had some breaking skin. It took another 3 weeks for it to heal and this week I am so much better. I did everything I was supposed todo but couldn't avoid the breaking skin when treatment finished. Going in everyday for 4 weeks was definitely a commitment but I met some lovely people that I got to know over the 4 weeks going through treatment, the medical staff were wonderful and before you know it its all finished. I was given a little teddy bear when I finished and I have named him Basil. lol The Tamoxifen is going well for me and I am sure it will for you too when you start the hormone treatment. It's been a crazy year so far for us Marg but we are getting there, stronger than ever. If you need to know anything please let me know.
