Zoladex injection side effects
Hi. I am just wondering if there is anyone out there like me? I have travelled the Breast Cancer journey for over 12 months now having a Mastectomy for Invasive Ductal Carcinoma in March last year. I had one lymph node involved and had Chemotherapy and Radiation. This week I had a full Hysterectomy as risk reduction surgery. My current medication prior to surgery was Aromasin daily tablets and Zoladex monthly injections. These were to stop my body producing Oestrogen. I will no longer need the injections due to the hysterectomy.
My understanding is that the Aromasin & Zoladex combination is a fairly new treatment. They stop my body from producing Oestrogen which fed my Breast Cancer. I suffer really badly with muscle and joint pain as a side effect of the drugs. One Dr suggested I go on to either Krill Oil, Fish Oil or Evening Primrose Oil as they can relieve muscle and joint pain. I chose to go on Evening Primrose Oil and it has relieved it to some extent and I am thankful for that.
I was wondering if anyone else has suffered like this? Can anyone suggest other treatments? I am looking into anti inflammatory diets but don't know if this will help any. I just think that there must be more people out there like me with a similar story? Hoping to hear from someone.
