Emotions and Femara
First time I've posted on a forum, forgive if I've goofed up. Have had the mastectomy, done the chemo and radio, now on femara, 4 months in. Initial horrid joint pain and other odd things have settle...
Now Curly, sorry to hear of your journey this far. I'm with Primek I don't think its the Femara, but rather the whole journey, I know from having my recurrence its been very difficult emotionally and mentally to combat, everything you described is exactly how I feel. I know it sounds strange but the tears are good and I actually caught up with a Psychologist last week after not speaking to her for 3yrs and was amazing. She pointed out the obvious that I was grieving, grieving my journey the past 6yrs, grieving my pending surgery and mastectomy coming up. It certainly helps to talk to somebody and your GP could assist with a mental health plan which will get you 6 visits through Medicare. It really would make the world of difference. And of course you have US!!! nothing you could say that we havent thought or felt...so keep talking. Sending a big hug Melinda xo
