Oh boy I always seem to be complaining. No one to talk to as everything closes down during the weekend in Qld and I've already had that experience the first week of starting Tamoxifen and ADK6/4 trip to emergency to Nambour hospital.

Today I'm back to thinking is this treatment worth it if I can't live my life. How do people cope.
