Hi Kathy,
Thanks for your advice. I do take the fish oil, but not a huge dose, and I have currently stopped it due to surgery in 10 days. This is like a blood thinner, and after my massive haematoma last time, I decided to stop this 2.5 weeks before surgery this time, and not the 10 days recommended. When I see the oncologist in February, I'm going to ask him about fish oil doses, and maybe even something for the hot flushes and poor sleep. Every once in a while I do think the hot flushes are lessening, and then I will have a run of them, like what is happening at present, when I have so many in a 24 hour period, that I lose count. I think, that after 7 or 8 years, they should be going away now, as I am well and truely over them. I'm thinking about trying to do more
constructive exercise this year. I do walk the dog daily,
and I know this helps. I will go back to yoga and the
breast surgery gym at the hospital. Both of these I have
not done this last 3 months due to a second
mastectomy and the start of reconstructive surgery. My
next surgery for exchange will be pretty straight forward,
so I should be ready to rejoin these classes, when they
start again for the new year. Wishing you a very happy
and healthy new year. Love Chris xx
