    Hoping you are feeling a little better this morning!  
    A visit or call to request a Psychologist is a good idea - you have your emotional as well as physical self that needs nurturing as you take on this treatment!
    Try and keep up fluids as well as!
    Please take care and best wishes

    I had one through my GP cos I got a Mental Health Plan, but wasn’t too happy with him. Then I asked my medical oncologist for one just before starting Letrozole and they provided me with one straight away, and she’s not even part of the MHP. I’ve been getting regular sessions and it’s been so helpful. They knew I was anxious though as it says it on all my notes. Give your onco a call, tell him your side effects and request a psychologist ASAP. Tell them you’re suffering quite a bit. And do something nice for yourself. This stuff is hard. We need to find the good.

    Hi @Not_good_63_57,
    please consider seeing a psychologist if you haven’t already. One should be provided to you for free by either GP or oncologist. If for nothing more than to get your anxiety in order. I’m also a sufferer of panic attacks and have generalised anxiety, and my psychologist has helped so much in calming my nerves and getting me to stay grounded. It’s a work in progress, but the more you go the better you feel. I hope the side effects ease up 🤞♥️
