Hi I am new to the group. I was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year and had lumpectomy in March 26. I am due to have my radiotherapy this week. The reason I have come into this group is that I was put on Letrozole 1 month ago as my cancer is oestrogen driven. In one month I have had rapid weight gain of over 1 stone and my legs are constantly filled with fluid. Plus the fact it has messed up my mental health. I am either crying or angry. Have brain fog and cannot seem to concentrate. Is this just me or has anybody else had similar things.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
