Hi Ladies,I wonder if anyone else has had this problem.I am taking anastrozole after having a grade 3 invasive tumour but my lymph nodes were clear. luckily.I didn’t have chemo .I am having a pain in my hip and lower right side of my stomach.Which is a dull ache ,Also i am very constipated ,i have had this problem ,although not as bad ,for many years. I am taking a fibre and laxative daily which was prescribed by my GP.I am almost veggie and walk everyday am not overweight .I am not taking the Adcal as this really makes things worse.I am very worried as i keep fearing that this may be bowel cancer,i had 3 benign polyps removed 3 years ago.Has anyone else had a similar pain at all ,it is a dull ache lower right side of my stomach and in my hip and groin .also my stomach swells up at the lower right area,As you Ladies know we tend to think the worst with everything that comes up,I try not to worry ,i am having a ct scan ,but i don’t think this would show bowel cancer ,Any thoughts or experiences would be very welcome.Thanks for reading my rant ,hope you are all having a good day,Love Ellies x
