Patsy - if you have a moment please share on the yoga.
Outside the above I have done one session hot yoga which I adored - I have little flexibility so I am certain I looked rhino trying to stretch but it felt great afterwards - it's hard to fit in with my day schedule.
I have been on Arimidex for 16 months - I have joint pain, more on days I am stationary, hot flushes on and off, dry skin manageable,I like olive oil for that and for me it absorbs well, and my hair is thinning a little but nothing anyone would notice. I have found it doable - but we are all different.
(I ran a classical course in my treatment - mastectomy, axillary clearance by choice ( no recon by choice), dose dense chemo and radiation, Pallas trial (randomised to placebo). Your kindness in posting after ... made me read your profile - my only thought was given your intro whether there would be any benefit from CDKs - I am not sure anyone can answer that with certainty but depending on your treatment priorities maybe worth a discussion with your oncologist. Nicole McCarthy is at the Wesley in Brisbane and I think she was/is on the PBAC for CDKs ( Ibrance being the first ) approval - I chatted to her prior to entering Pallas, but nothing I could say definitive came out of that consult. I know there is an Abemaciclib trial for early disease but it's a tighter inclusion criteria.
I hope you take this in the manner in which was offered - just my rambling thoughts - nothing more.)
