Hi, all. I was diagnosed with breast cancer after mammogram last August, Ductal carsinoma hormone reactive.
i had lumpectomy in Sept and radiotherapy treatment finishing the week before Christmas. Started taking Letrozole 1Jan.
recovery from surgery went extremely well, and effects of radiotherapy kicked in on Boxing Day. Had to take naps for a few days but the tiredness lessened until this last couple of weeks where I have had disturbed sleep with hot sweats, a few aches, but now a shocking headache and down the left side of my face.
it would appear that symptoms of the drugs are supposed to ease off so I am hoping this is so.
i am now looking at skin care. My usual creams have collagen in so I am reluctant to carry on with these. I am going to visit my local branch of Boots to speak to the MacMillan rep there for some advice on creams with sun protection. I’ll post any results then. It seems there are lots of things to consider in the long term and trying to navigate through conflicting information is not only scary but exhausting. That is why I have joined this forum to hopefully share these problems
sorry this was so long nut I had a lot to say
