happy

I had a very long visit to the hospital clinic yesterday but all is well. I have a 2cm cyst on the left breast which the doctor could feel and she is sure it is just a blocked ductnbut she will keep an eyse on it. Everything else is OK except for my muscle tone. She suggests aqua aerobic! I'm a non-swimmer so I will have to think of something else. My knees and spine have been giving me quite a bit of pain lately but the doc assured me it was just the Arimidex and I have to get used to it......not as blunt as that but that was what she meant. The other side effects like nausea and headaches are quite put-up-able now so I'm hoping the joint pain eases up too. If I take 1 Nurofen after lunch and another before tea I should be able to get through the days work OK. I have been finding I can hardly get out of the car by Sunday night and getting up the stairs is very difficult but if I just take those tablets for the 3 work days I'm hoping to be fine.

Th BCNA has given The Coffee Club another webpage which is better than the one I set up but should make it  easier to find us.

Next Wednesday we meet at the Lawnton Bowls Club for a coffee and cake (or pancakes and strawberries!!) so I hope to catch up with you all then. Sarah won't be able to come :( and Lee, I know you won't be there but i will bring your goodie bag from the forum to the afternoon get-together the following fortnight.

I feel so much better now that I know I am still OK.

Love,

Lynne

  • glad to hear all is well - I'm the same with the aches.  I also have trouble getting out of the car.  I had a series of tests too and all is well with me too!

    Catch you Wednesday am!

  • I did a google and checked it out,.  Doesn't seem to be a problem.  I will check it out with my GP though. XLeonie

  • are you allowed to take the fish oil while you are on Arimidex? I have been reluctant to take anything in case it counter-reacts.

    That is a good way to lose weight!!! Trouble is when you start to eat again the weight comes back, lol

    Lynne,

  • Hi Lynne,  I am like an old lady with the aching joints.   I have started on pure fish oil (not too tasty) and also calcium tabs as I hope to commence some decent walking next week.  I have also started some other natural remedy pills and potions - some to lose weight post chemo.  I know how they work - makes me feel sick in the tum and not wanting to eat!!!!XLeonie
