I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January and had a right breast masectomy as I have an auto immune disorder I am still trying to have my wound healed as my disorder stops healing happening. I am only 45 and as my cancer is eostrogen + I have been greeting zoladex implants to bring on my menopause and letrozole to eat up my eostrogen. Since starting these drugs my joints have became far worse than they are normally I feel so down and have stayed in bed all week. Has anyone else experienced this as it is adding to my distress.
