What's new with Kath
Warning...long post ahead with much whinging I've been struggling the past 6 months. I have developed bilateral bursitis of both shoulders...for no apparent reason. Initially it was tight with re...

@primek - so sorry to hear of your traumatic time!
They just don't 'get it', do they? They have no idea just how distressing it is to be going thru all that, let alone with the thought of Mets in the background - and then to have your appointments mucked around like that as well! (Ask @"Annie C" about that!)
Glad that your bone scan etc is clear.
I've had stuffed shoulders before BC - one was frozen shoulder & the other Rotator Cuff with extras. Both of which severely impacts sleeping as it is so painful. I hope it isn't an auto immune thing!
I've only ever had bursitis from actual injuries (on an X-ray it shows as a white blob of liquid at the joint that was injured) .... and usually in my hip - the bursitis sac usually absorb over time, with pain killers/anti inflams in the mean time to control it. If big enough & caught early enough, they can be drained/sucked out by needle.
I hear you re the side effects of Letrozole. I only lasted 6 weeks on it. Then 6 months on Exemestane and I've just started on Anastrozole a few days ago. Will see how that goes.
Enjoy your break & good luck with the next AI xx
