Kisqali/ Letrozel exhaustion
Round 3 and I’m just realising how tired I am. Before Xmas I could keep going up to 730pm when I needed a bit of a break but now it all seems so hard going back to work yesterday. My new year resolution is to be the best version of me so I dragged myself back to the Cancer Fit gym before work. I was shocked that my blood pressure before exercise was 80/55 normally 110/70. After a glass of water 95/65. Is that why I’m tired and should I let my doctor know? Of course I’m wide awake now in the middle of the night worrying about being so tired
Weight!!! Non exisitant metabolism - hoping to find someone like me!
hi ladies, I was diagnosed with stage 3 estrogen positive BC three and a half years ago start of 2015. Whilst I was finishup up my treatment (surgery, chemo, radio, exmestane, more surgery), my thyroid stopped working and I was then diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, they are not sure how/why it was brought on. Then after all that I was diagnosed with the BRCA 2 gene a year and a half after my initial diagnosis so after having an initial double mastectomy, I then had a preventative total hysterectomy and oopherectomy and take an estrogen blocker for 10 years so I really dont feel very female anymore :( I went into a chemical menopause in 2015 and then in 2016 I went into a surgical one. All of this happened in my late 30’s and my weight has really suffered for it, as a result I have very bad self esteem and it also does not help my husband cheated on me with two of my friends after I was diagnosed and just 6 months after we were married in 2016, we have a little son so I’ve stayed - it’s a daily battle for me though. My metabolism is non exisitant and so I am hoping to find other women with the same make up of ‘issues’ as me (without the infidelity) to see how they are managing. is there anyone out there with: 1). estrogen positive breast cancer 2). that’s had a total hysterectomy, 3). that has hashis 4). is on an estrogen blocker? praying there is.....
