thanks for all your comments
The hot flushes started just after the last dose of chemo and havent stopped, they have increased if anything. Horrible stuff-torture especially as i am a cold frog that wears 3-4 layers in winter. Guess that wont be happening any more.
No spine pain, just in 2 areas of the left leg, right leg is pain free apart from general aches and pains. The leg pain actually started 4-5 months ago but oncologist was unconcerned. But it hasnt settled down, in fact it is more intense now and wakes me throughout the night. I cant put any pressure on it for more than 3-4 mins therefore cant sleep on that side. I did have a bone scan last Friday but have to wait a week for the results and am going round in circles inside my head!!!!
I will investigate the Endep after surgery, why cant you have tamoxifen while undergoing surgery??? Seems silly that the oncologist started me on it if I have to stop it soon!
Seems to be so much connected with breast cancer, but I guess because it is hormone based, therein lies our problem
Appreciate all the replies,
