I am certainly not looking forward to changing drugs- it took about 3 years for the side effects of Tamoxifen to settle down. I don't know Xeloda? Is that for bone mets?
My children weren't too alarmed, but I complained of a sore back on the weekend ( a muscle spasm), and I could see that the older ones (18 and 19) were on alert. I suppose your children have seen enough in their work to make them extra concerned.
I'm glad to hear that you have supportive friends. It does make all the difference. My friends will be great- I just need to convince them that I intend to remain perfectly well for a long time!
