Coping with life with after treatment of cancer.

I had lumpectomy radiotherapy earlier this year. I am taking  letrozole   Aching joints headaches weight gain   I am going to try a different brand. See if sude effects ease.  I agree with you.  Will I ever feel like me again !!!!

I finished treatment Mid Sept and registered for the Breast Cancer Now Moving Forward course. Its a bit different as its online and not face to face which  is a shame but the videos and the zoom meets have been good. Maggies do one as well. I'm later than you with finishing treatment but trying to get back to some normality (which is hard). x

Hi

I'm in a similar situation, lumpectomy in March, radiotherapy therapy completed in July. I have 3 monthly zoladex injections and take exemestane.

I spoke with my onco nurse who advised taking Glucosamine tablets to help my achy joints.  I'm also taking Rosehip, in all fairness I do seem to be less achy.  On a particularly bad day I use deep freeze gel and the odd ibuprofen tablet.

All the very best

I was diagnosed with Her2 progressive cancer 2018 and had chemo which was a success,  had mastectomy in right breast which left me with lympodeaoma in my right side, even after 3 years im constantly in pain with my joints,and suffering from nerve damage, I also feel trapped in a body that doesnt feel like mine and guilty as am thankful I'm here too, so frustrated that i cant do the things I used to that i get anxiety and cry for no reason at all, I  feel awful as want to ask for help but feel I  should be over this by now, its getting to the point that I  don't enjoy going out and getting dressed as have bad hot flushes and feel embarrassed, im forgetting simple things that im driving everyone away, So just want to be on my own...I am on strong painkillers, escitolopram, tamoxifen, pregablin and lansoprazole which seems to work but if i miss one dose of painkillers its back to square one..I n my case I wish i could say things will get better, but im still waiting for that day...
