One year on

Hi Maria,  It is nearly a year since my chemo finished - 9th June 2011.  I have been reflecting of late - "last year I was on chemo" - what a difference now.  I too have the after effects of Arimidex and have said no more chemo.  I still have my protocath in and have to visit the oncology unit every 5 weeks to get it flushed out.  I always smile nicely at those who are hooked up to chemo potions and am so pleased to be in and out quickly.  I am still to have my mammo and ultrasound since diagnosis back in Dec 2010.  I will be very apprehensive when it happens.  I wish I could think normally again sometimes without the "bc monkey on my back". Good luck with your yoga.  I went to a session during chemo (no hair days) and then the instructor went away to Italy for more training.  On her return I was unable to go back as the dreaded after effects had set in. (I couldn't get up and down to work on the floor)  Maybe some day I will be able to.  I am presently trying Lyrica for pain relief before considering stopping Arimidex wich of course is a scarey thing to have to contemplate.  XLeonie
