Caught in the middle

Oh yes, nothing like those extra inches around ones middle and no matter what you do it doesn't go anywhere! Good grief it's crap. Actually my biggest whinge at the moment is my hair. I had thought it was returning straight...but alas I have been smashed with the chemo curls. It feels like a shag pile rug! I live in the snowy mountains of nsw, and luckily with winter approaching I should be able to keep a beanie on my head for a while. Where are you two? In regards to the tamoxifen I'm taking. I found it quite hard when I started. Hot flushes got worse and I wanted to knock myself off. Now after a few months it has settled a bit. Well, settled a lot more than I expected. My mood swings aren't as offensive either...though my husband may disagree. You just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other and tackling each day head on. It's crap what has happened, awful having extra bits that don't feel right, or bits gone altogether, but it is what it is. And if all else fails, champagne with a buddy helps, though doesn't help the hot flushes. Hugs. Lisa xx
