Feeling "blue" on tamoxifen
Hello there, has anyone else felt flat, down in the dumps after starting tamoxifen? I have been on the little white pill 20mg for 2 months now, and my anxiety levels are also quite high, but I do have upcoming scans and alot of worries still. Any pearls of wisdom for helping to overcome my flatness? I exercise daily, trying to eat as healthy as I can. In all honesty I do miss a little bit of alcohol to help me relax!! Thanks ladiesMemory
For some as a result of diagnosis and treatment the effect on our memory can be distressing - fatigue or chemo induced or anything else in between, stress, anxiety, menopause! I have a sister who has early onset Dementia and on the road to diagnosis she was seen by a health professional, Neuro Psychologist. She has written a book and there's a precis of it here that some may find interesting or useful to someone you know Memory-wise - Dr Anne Unkenstein -- Allen & Unwin - 9781760296384 - Allen & Unwin - Australia (allenandunwin.com) Best wishes to all
another delay, sad and mad and very disappointed
Hi, I've had a disappointing week and I thought I would drop in with all you wonderful people and unload (sorry it feels like going down not up lately) I'm about 4 weeks into my 2nd time round, I had the lumpectomy in 2020 and now I'm ready for double mastectomy and not considering reconstruction. Had surgery booked for Friday 1st and I had a recent UTI but Thursday afternoon had the details and what was required then an hour later it was cancelled , I was so broken about that for a couple of days and just started to settle and now I am covid positive. When the test showed positive I just shut down don't really feel anything. I'm lost at the moment wondering what's next.. thank you all for being here, for your time and thoughts!!My Scalp Hurts
Hi Everyone, It has been 16 days since my first chemo (AC) session. My scalp is starting to hurt. My hair is sore to touch. It feels like painful pins and needles on my scalp. Annoying and painful when I'm trying to sleep. I haven't noticed much hair starting to fall out when I brush it (but that is hurting) or in the shower. Is this my bodys way of saying it may fall out soon or do I get it shaved and save myself this constant pins and needles pain? Thank you.
