If not one thing then another
Well, since my last blog I have been taken off Arimidex (chronic bone pain etc) and have been on Tamoxifen for apx 3 weeks. Still a bit stiff but no where near as bad, down side is the hot flushes are worse!
Reading blogs from others really helps I think, as you realise what you are experiencing is "normal"! Its over 12 months now since my masecotmy and axillary and still have the semi-numb feeling and tighness and of course fluid retention.
Like one of the other bloggers I have been having lymphatic massage and it has been such a help - thoroughly recommend it, though you need to be sure you get someone properly trained (my occupational therapist gave me a name). I am none to fond of wearing the compression arm sleeve but have to admit it does make a difference so am persevering. I do think this warm weather affects the fluid retention (i.e. you get more) but I wonder if the hormone blockers are also part of the problem.
I recall a blog mentioning "Pink Pilates" but I think it was in NZ. Has anyone come across it here in Oz (Sydney would be useful)?
Take care pink ladies.
