Good question @JulieVT11. I've been given the pills and sent on my way with nary an offer of support. It's up to us to reach out, to our breast care nurses, our GPs, here, and follow through any suggestions. My feeling is the oncs only want to see you if it gets to the unbearable stage and you're considering quitting.
I rage against the cage of it. I'm afraid it is what it is and am being dragged, resisting, to acceptance of that. Cancer sucks and, as infurating as it is, this is cancer treatment. The child inside me wants everyone to see my pain and give me sympathy and understanding. But everyone is absorbed in their own pain. The psychological challenges of being a human being are not to be underestimated. Thank goodness, and BCNA, that we have each other here. I see your pain, I acknowledge that it is real, and you have my sympathy. K xox
