@melclarity @kezmusc I'm not expecting it back at all. I'm genuinely surprised by these signals my body is giving. The other two being a libido surge, something I've always had just before menstruating, and a headache. Forgot to mention them above. My libido has been MIA since last November...
I'm starting Letrozole on Friday. I have read (and enjoyed, kezmusc, never apologise!) your experiences on hormone therapy with interest. I'm hoping against hope I am one of the lucky ones who don't get side effects.
Apart from the loss of fitness from the six months of treatment, and the recovery from the operation, I feel so well! I've lost 25kgs, have no aches or pains, and am about to start an exercise physiology programme. These signals make me feel like a return to a semblance of normal is just around the corner! It strikes me as so cruel that in one more day I have to start taking a medication that will reduce my chances of a recurrence, potentially saving my life, but that could also significantly reduce the quality of that life. Sigh. I'll take it, I know which I choose. Fingers crossed it's not too bad.
And if Aunt Flo turns up I'll let my oncologist know...
