Yes,the radiation sets it all off again.I found lying in a warm salt bath and moving/massaging the arm and chest helped.Keep up the arm exercises.It may be months before it improves and even then,you may be left with a permanent slight discomfort.Your chest skin is less elastic after radiation. So sorry to hear that your grandson will be moving further away.I hope they will keep a spare room for you to come and stay.My daughter is building a house less than 10mins away so that's good if they ever have children.When my hair got to 1/2 an inch I think I swapped to headbands which were much cooler. I just folded my cotton bandanas over a few times and tyed a knot at the back.
Now you just go right ahead and have your sooky la la day-you've earned it ! Perhaps the Arimadex will be less taxing on your joints in time.I know I had aches and pains when I started Tamoxifen but it settled down after a few months -different drug I know.It mostly gives me hot flushes now and abit of fluid retention.It's hard to swallow a pill when you know you'll feel worse off for it.I'm glad your tests came back clear,that must have been a relief for you.You are probably like me,on 3mthly checkups.I'm sure I've paid for my surgeon to have a good holiday somewhere exotic! Well take care and hope tomorrow is a better day for you.
love Tonya xx
