Hi @TerryTee, I hope you are feeling well. The good news is that the severity of hot flushes has diminished and I have no joint pain now. I still don't really get a good night's sleep, but it's not as bad as it was. I'm far less emotional and anxious now that active treatment is over and I 'passed' my three month check up with the surgeon. Annoyingly, my once oily skin and hair is super dry now, and I developed eczema all over the place, which I finally got under control. It flared up especially badly around the radiotherapy site, which is still very reactive. A very stubborn patch of eczema persists under one eye. My period stopped almost immediately when I started Tamoxifen, replaced with a non-stop watery, sometimes slightly bloody discharge. I'm really hoping my hair, skin and nails don't noticeably thin (one of the possible side effects). I find that, working full-time, I'm absolutely fatigued by Friday afternoons. I'd love to go on a long holiday!!!
