Update & follow up:)
Hello to everyone:) hope all is going well for everyone...
Just thought I would let you all know how I'm going...
So I had my follow up with the gynecologist last week & she seems to be happy that all went well & extremely happy that the hysterectomy was done in time before the nasties had set in, so I'm feeling pretty lucky :) I am so glad my doctors made me have that ultrasound & biopsy
However she did say the healing process is taking longer because I'm on tamoxifen!!! so I asked her if I could go off it so I can heal quicker & she just laughed at me & said a Big fat NO..... Anyway tamoxifen for me is not so great:(
I have so much Nausea everyday & the hot flushes are out of control, just insane.... I have tried a few things like half of tablet & staggering it & nothing seems to help...so tired because the Hot flushes are waking me up constantly ...
I feel like I have a bad case of morning sickness.. That's the only way l can describe it.... I just want to ditch this part of the journey right now...
So my gyno has referred me to the menopause clinic to see if they can help me out...is there anyone else having this much trouble with Tamoxifen ????
On a lighter note! I finally got my income protection approved at long last..my first payment went in last Friday wahoo I feel rich:) they back paid me from dec through to march..they did say before they pay me anymore I have to prove my hysterectomy is in relation to my breast cancer...I thought to myself ! are they for real??? So now I have to give them permission to go into my files at KEMH....
They really make it hard for you, its taken them six months to give me 3 months of wages.... No wonder people give up!!!So anyone who is applying for their income protection, don't give up & keep at them as much as they are at you!!!!, Until next time.....take care everyone:) & big((((hugs))) to you all:)
