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.
