Worried.

Worried. I forgot to put a title on my last message so no one could get into it…silly me, here it is again.

It’s been three months since I finished radiotherapy, and was not feeling too bad, but am suddenly feeling sick all the time, it’s like morning sickness, but at my age I know I am not pregnant, my breast is also still painful, I hate asking the Doctor or nurse at the hospital as I am scared they may think I am getting paranoid…I am on Tomoxifen, and have been taking it for 6 months.

Thanks.

Hugs Val.

I spoke to one of the nurses on this site once too and they were so helpful and balanced - better than my own bcn who was very good during the treatment days - now I feel a bit abandoned as obviously I am a low priority as she will have newly diagnosed ladies to deal with. I would urge ladies and gents to use the nurses on here as they really are good.

I was only saying to my daughter today that I felt abandoned I think the wonderful staff at the hospital where I had the treatment would be very upset if they knew I felt like that, and as you say chloesinclair they have the newbies to concentrate on which of course is quite right.
