Has anyone successfully gotten back their old life??, well with a few minor adjustments anyway.
I keep getting told to slow down and watch what I’m doing. I was diagnosed june 2006 (just before my 40th), had WLE, lymph nodes removed, chemo and rediotherapy. I am now on Tamoxifen and Zolodex (only 6 more of those babies to go thank goodness), and well to be honest I’ve been reading through some of the posts on here and I’m kind of scaring myself.
I didnt really take time off work because i love my job and knew I’d go nuts at home. so that part has mainly stayed the same, although I dont lift if my boss is around cos she’d kill me. i do some lifting if I have to at other times but i know my limits.
Some other things that I’ve been doing that I’m beginning to wonder if i should be are:
waxing/shaving under my arms
Lifting
Going back to the gym (including weight work but nothing too heavy just enough to tone)
Got the Mirena coil fitted (new relationship), did talk to about 5 doctors before I got it though
Gardening etc as normal
Ironing, though as I live on my own I dont have tons and do try to keep it down.
Wont do two trips with shopping if I can lift it all in one go.
Charge around my life at 90 miles an hour
Chill out in the sun (if we ever get any that is)
I just want my life back, I want to be normal again. Is this possible? Has anyone managed it? Should i stop what I’m doing now?
Sorry for going on, just a bit confused with all the different info.
