It is hard there are no easy answers, with Arimidex or the like, as I had a recurrence already I wasnt going to risk another, so a year after treatment opted for a single mastectomy/diep flap recon, Im nearly a year on from that too. Chemo also gave me the wonderful gift not just for menopause but osteoporosis in my neck and lower back HAHA! I take Prolia injections every 6 months. All going well in March with a bone density scan he said he will push me back to yearly checkups.
It really has taken me 2yrs to recover from chemo and taking the AI, Ive just started a new job 5 days in education, it is bloody hard because nobody understands. So I just plod along as best I can to the day I can stop taking it or they come up with something better. Chemo is a beast...I wouldnt choose it again knowing the hard road I've had because of it. x
