Well it's been a few weeks since I wrote anything. My chemo was thankfully finished, and then it suddenly seemed to be all go what with Tamoxifen starting, the radiotherapy - and the registrar started mentioning this monthly injection (she didn't explain it any further) if my ovaries are still doing their thang. Had a blood test and asked about it yesterday, and the nurse said all appeared normal but I'd have to speak to the doctor - who I'm not seeing till December now. So I'm a bit confused as to whether I'll get this injection now - I may chase it up next week as I'm a bit of a nag!
The radiotherapy so far is easy - in and out within about 10 minutes, and I just lie there while a machine whirrs away for a min or so. No particular sign of the side effects yet - the worst bit for me so far is the not wearing deodorant and being careful not to get anything perfumed on me! Turns washing and bathing into a bit of a hassle...luckily it's quite cold so the lack of deodorant isn't much of a problem.
And that's it really at the moment - going in daily till end of October so three weeks' worth. Herceptin is ongoing till next July - I did sign up for the clinical trial where they allocate 6 or 12 months, but got the regular dose randomly allocated, so no worries there.
