Arimidex
Hi Breast Cancer Friends
I have been on Arimidex for about five months now and I really don't like all the side effects that go with it. I get heaps of hot flushes, ache all over, weight gain and v...
Hi San-Dee
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. Hope you are doing okay. I seem to be better for taking the tablets at night which I am grateful for. Do wake up a bit 'heady' but that passes as I get up and move around. Our Christmas holiday is to NZ. We are kiwis that live here in Oz. I am looking forward to going 'home'. It has been awhile. I looked on the website for travel insurance. Went to Compare the Market. A good website. I looked at a Woolworths one which seemed okay. They have 43 pre existing medical conditions in their disclosure. I rang them about breast cancer. Possibly what you travel agent said is right but what the lady told me was that seeing Breast Cancer is not on the list and if you do anything overseas to hurt your breast or something to do with your breast cancer flares up you are not covered. They will still give you a policy but wouldn't pay out on that if anything happened re the Breast Cancer. As I don't know you circumstances re your op and what you had etc cannot really comment. I had a lumpectomy and radiation and now I am on the tablets for five years. As far as I am concerned I have nothing wrong with me now. I would say I am in remission. I don't personally think that anything would go wrong with me but who knows. Hope you understand all that I have said. Would be good to personally chat about this. We could email?
Hugs
Ady :-)
