What to do to regain my strength and energy levels
I have finished my chemo, radiation and now on hormone tablets for nearly 60days. I just cannot seem to regain my energy levels and was wondering if I should be taking a supplement. I cannot do much before I am puffing and exhausted, I am doing more than when on chemo as that wiped me right out !! I am going to get blood tests to check, and I have not been doing any exercise so I am going to start a little walk every day and try to build it up. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
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
chemo dose 4
Hi This morning I go in for my 4th round of TC - hope they get the vein first go. thats always a good start. So happy this is the last one - just then have to ride out the side effects. I have a CT scan on thursday for my radiotherapy which is scheduled to start on the 8th July. Should be finished on 30 July. We have a weekend in sydney booked to celebrate - yay. Then I will start my tamoxifen after that. So looking forward to the end of the treatment and then trying to get my body back in shape. Hope everyone is going well. Marg xx
estrogen blockers not alway suitable
I was diagnosed with breast cancer early 2011 Lumpectomy followed by radiation and then Femara. I usually have low blood pressure but after few weeks taking Femara my blood pressure soared and it was advised by my oncologist to to stop taking it for a couple of months, blood pressure came back to normal. Has this happened to anyone else? Tamoxifin was suggested but after a little research and a family history of clots, strokes etc I decided to decline any treatment opting to cut out all sugar, losing weight, exercising every day and drinking green tea. I hope this keeps me well as I have a 10 year old to care for. Does anyone have any other ideas for lowering estrogen levels?
