Re: 'Getting on with life' tips
I’m at Genesis Care just down the road in the Somerset centre. Down there once a month now for my jabs. Had port taken out as it wasn’t flushing well so eliminated that hassle. I’m working as a public servant so work mostly from home now - the upside of covid. Head into town one day a week. I will join the other group for sure. I’m getting better at juggling time between health, life and work - dropped work hours has helped. Definitely helps to still use my brain (albeit foggier thanks treatment) and stay creative- all good therapy. Just started with exercise physiologist get some strength back. I call myself my work in progress 😂Re: 'Getting on with life' tips
Hi - yes a bit more detail about me…I live in the Blue Mountains in NSW with hubby and hopefully a.pooch soon. I am teaching myself to crochet in my spare time and getting back to enjoying being creative. I used to stage manage for community theatre groups but that has sadly proved to much. I’ve taken up with the fabulous Dragon Abreast Blue Mountains. I do love the cold so getting out in a Dragonboat when it is 4deg is ok but yes the wind factor is not the best. I do enjoy getting out and about - enjoyed a wander around Vivid a few weeks ago, love going to theatre (do love a good musical) I’m currently on Palcociclib, Letrozole, venlafaxine and monthly Zoladex Zgeva Denosumab injections. Has kept things stable for abt 18mths now which is great but I’m really not enjoying the side effects…but I’m upright and breathing so I am learning to live with them. I’m an open book so happy to share my experiences, very welcoming to listen to others and be part of a community of people who get it! Cheers for now.
