Hello lovely people. I just wanted to remind everyone to ask for help if you’re going through a tough time. I was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer 2 years ago and finished 6 months of chemo in October. Currently only on Tamoxifen. The pain I feel under my ribs has steadily increased and I just sat and worried about it. This morning my husband insisted I email my oncologist instead of waiting for my appointment in February. He was so right. I am now on more pain killers and will have bloods done next week followed by an earlier appointment. I feel so much better. I didn’t want to trouble my Dr especially at this time of year. We all know how busy they are. However my pushy husband’s words have led to a much more manageable situation for me. We think it’s often easier for us to keep soldiering on when what we really need is a bit more help. We shouldn’t worry about asking for it. Here’s hoping for a good new year for all. X

Yes so important to ask. I’m my own worst enemy, leaving things to see how it goes. Eventually I get an appointment and it was nothing to worry about but we never know.
I hope you are feeling better on the stronger pain killers.

Well done for going to see someone. It’s difficult to know what to do isn’t it, but always better to be safe than sorry. I hope your pain meds start working asap.x
