Re: Cancer was easy Tamoxifen is killing my life
An update. My surgeon got me into the pysch at lifehouse, the living room. They are so good there. Two sessions and a small holiday and I reset and am coping better. Sometimes we just need to let go and let the hormones do what they like. With a high pressure job this was hard but once i accepted it everything was easier. If it's a bad day it's a bad day.Re: Cancer was easy Tamoxifen is killing my life
@cath62 i just had a meeting with my surgeon and he is going to meet with my Onc and they can decide if it's worth it for me. I also have a referral to see a psych so I'll see what they have to say. I resigned from my job today to take a month off for me time. @HappySoul ill review the podcast thankyou. The hypnosis also sounds interesting. I'm willing to give anything a go at this point. I'm only 1.5 yrs into a 10 yr ai journey. 🫣Cancer was easy Tamoxifen is killing my life
Hi all, it's been awhile since I posted. As some of you may have read before diagnosed 2020, double mastectomy with recon, chemo finished and now Tamoxifen for almost a year. I got through everything realatively well and held it all together for so long. I'm now not in a great place. I feel i need a break from life. Hormones are up and down, my poor husband doesn't know if I'm leaving him or madly in love, i cry at nothing and then don't blink an eye lid in other circumstances. I feel like I'm bipola, manic and a gold fish at times but i keep it together. My job is demanding, my life is fast paced but i think i just need to stop. I came off the medication for four weeks and felt amazing. Spoke to my oncologist, we were going to try something else but decided to go back to Tamoxifen whilst we await a blood test and see if i am in menopause yet. I have three weeks till i see her again. I really don't think i can do this hormone shit for another 9, yes 9 ,(lucky me because I'm "young" they recommend 10yrs not 5) years. FML anyone else experience this? And yes I'm at a low at present i recognise so i have told those close that I'm breaking. I just don't think anyone gets it. Don't worry i would never hurt myself. I lost someone dear to suicide so i know what it does. This just sucks. Just looking to see if anyone has tried anything different. ...
