Thank you @Artferret. I had no control of what questions were asked. That was Kirsten.
@arpie I would have preferred it if he had focussed a bit more on current developments too. If time and format had allowed I would have picked them up on the CBD oil thing; I did notice it. In the room it didn't read as condescending. More that they look at studies, and thus far studies are inconclusive about medical cannabis. I'm not ruling out giving CBD oil a crack. I just can't manage more than one thing at a time, and money is a big factor for me. My mum is helping me out with the acupuncture.
My takeaway is that while there are statistically solid benefits to taking hormone blocking medicines, each person needs to be evaluated individually as to whether the benefits outweigh the negatives.
Which is all well and good but doesn't take into account the psychological fear we have of recurrence, metastases and death. I'm too scared to come off the AI.
So next stop for me on this shitty train ride will be hypnosis. And I'm going to explore some of those resources Martha was talking about.
I'm no longer looking for solutions; there aren't any. I'm looking for ways to cope with the next nine years.
