hey ladies,
2 YEAR CLEAR MOMO AT START OF SEPT, YEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH finished cemo and rads may 2011. fec x6 rads x20 WLE. no nodes.
ive just been given anastrozole today, , i came off tamox in april after 10 months due to side effects. onc thought i was in menopause.(thanx cemo!) . age 43 and yes i was. /am!!! hot flushes, aches, very very painful sex, (not good in a newish relationship) and mood swings.
my confussion is he said take it for 8 weeks and come back, if the side effects are bad we will put u onto tamox again. .
i have also been perscribed by the menopause clinic vagifem 10, , had them ever other day for 2 weeks and now as and when. i was told if u had it for a year daily, that would only equal one days hrt. . so im on that, as sex was so painful, i felt like i was sitting on a knife. vaginal splits too. . not attractive. i could basically tear when wiping myself after the loo.
onc said if i want to continue on them he will have to put me on tamox as to block any ER.
WHY PUT ME ON ANASTROZOLE THEN TELL ME DRYNESS WILL BE WORSE. AND TRY FOR 8 WEEKS.
ALL THIS IS SO CONFUSSING. . BUT ITS OUT LIVES!
