Re: Hormone Blocking Anxiety from Pain
@Cindi, Thanks heaps for the update, I truly hope the new medication works for you….please let me know how you’re going. 🥰 I have an appt with the oncologist in June and yup, hubby will be there to watch my back, thanks. I’ve also got one with my surgeon next week, but wasn’t sure if I should talk to him about it or not. After reading your message I think I’ll give it a go! Thanks again. Hugs and good luck! ❤️11Views0likes0CommentsHormone Blocking Anxiety from Pain
In the last 12 months, I have had Tamoxifen, Letrozole and am now on Exemestane. I have had chronic side effects from them all. My oncologist has flat out denied my symptoms are caused by the meds. Hot flushes, the most painful aching joints, headaches, memory loss and I have blown up like the Michelin man! My legs are so bad now, the Physio and OT girls have put me in toe to knee compression stockings, that I have to wear 8-10 hours a day, I swell so much, sometimes I think my skin will tear. My oncologist told me I must have “incompetent veins”, over a phone consult….twice! I can’t sleep, because the burning in my joints wakes me up, and I have to get up and move around to take my mind off of it. I want to get a second opinion, but my confidence and self esteem have really taken a nose dive with my current oncologist and being shot down every time I speak with her. Any suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks.230Views0likes11Comments
