Hi sue I have zoladex injections for 5 years is this a similar drug? And tamoxifen for ten. I find I have a mood dip after three days but I guess it's stopping my hormones. I forget things even things I just said etc but think that it's from the chemo as my brain never the same again although is improving. Some of it for me is going into menopause so all adds to the forgetfulness. I'm not in herceptin so can't help you there. Hope everyone is doing ok and well. I think I've only really started to feel more like my old self over last month or two. Xxxxxx ... View more

Hi all Well seems we're all getting there at last. Sorry not been posting. Went back to work on Monday just for a few hours a day. All rather strange but ok I'm not doing much made a few coffees and teas and couldn't remember who wanted what!! Won't start to therapy kids till September so hopefully my brain will have returned. Finished radio therapy which was fine. A little tired still but alm ok. Went out on sat and made an ass of myself after supping too much vino and reslised my body said no but brain said yes!! Eyelashes slowly returning but I have a large pack of falsies which take a lot to get right! Haga. Hair returned everywhere else and hair browny blonde not s sign of my ginger!! I'm finding getting back into the swing a little harder than J thought but we will get there!!! Xxxxxx ... View more

Yes I agree but she sounds like she's top of her game. You're young and fit and advantages to not having to wait for another opertion on top. Gosh Emma I'm pleased you don't have to have more chemo though and you're going to get it out. Everyone is so brave and determined. I'm currently having problems getting my hormone meds as Sheffield and Barnsley are disputing who's paying!!! I'm going to officially complain as it made me cry yesterday last think I need to worry about!! Here's to strength and getting back to normal. You're surgeon will be brilliant and here's to you!
