Hi all, hope everyone is doing well at the moment. So pleased you got your start date for RT and your tamoxifen sorted out Cakes, in my experience the effects of the tamoxifen calm down after a while as your body gets used to it. Also on a positive note, if it makes you feel a bit grotty - hot flushes etc.- at least you know its working.
MAS - my brand of tamox. is wockhardt as well - I didn't know anything about different brands ( at ignorance). I think you are right not to anticipate side effects, but deal with them if and when they come. I find it helps to keep a little note of how I feel each day if I start on a new drug, then you can monitor yourself how you are doing and whether any effects get better/change or whatever.
I'm trying to get my head together after a rather emotional week. My DSIL had a mastectomy yesterday, we found out on monday. I feel so sad and upset, she is like a little sister to me, and also sad for DH, he's had to cope with me being ill and now his wee sister. Honestly I know I'm being stupid and probably self indulgent or something but I keep crying all the time. I went out and did a load of digging in the garden this morning to try and sort my head out. She's phoning me tonight from hospital, and the last thing I want to do is get upset when I speak to her. I'm going to pop out tomorrow an get some things to make her up a little parcel of treats, for when she comes home.
Hope I didn't upset anyone by sharing my news, I think I needed to sort out my feelings a bit.
Thinking of you Morphfan, and RWU, crap weeks have a habit of turning up every so often don't they? Hope things are more settled soon.
