Hormone therapy

Less than one minute read time.
I have severe bone pain the bottom of my feet burn with pain, I have put loads of weight on and I can't even get my shoes on. Ive had seven urine infections this year,inflammation of the gall bladder horrendous hot flushes I can't sleep and to top it all I have a vaginal prolapse which I didn't have before.the doc says its due to Lack of oestrogen because the arimidex suppress it and mine was an oestrogen fueled tumor. My relationship with my husband has suffered as sex is painful and makes me have more urine infections, and I've no interest in it anyway plus I'm always so tired and moody, I was wandering if this sounds familiar to anyone else or is it just me.

  • Hello Curly,

     

    I am sorry to hear about the pain you're experiencing. It must be hard to cope with all complications, especially ones affecting your family.

    Maybe if you join our Breast Cancer Group - http://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer_types/breast-cancer/discussions.aspx, it might help you to find someone with similar experience. 

    You can also call our free helpline on 0808-808-0000 to get advice and support.

    Huge HUGS Curly:

    You are not alone.  I had a different cancer but I too am suffering from long term side effects of chemo and radiation similar to you.

    If you would like to chat, send a friend request and we can communicate privately.

    In the meantime, hang in there and don't lose hope.

    Hi Pam I know it sounds awful but I'm glad I'm not alone, and I have been feeling very alone just lately I would love us to be friends and chat privately but Im not so good on the Internet so you will have to talk me through how to do it. Anyway I'm sorry you are going through it to its really not nice and it's so hard for anyone to understand unless they are going through it I look forward to hearing from you soon jan (curly)
