Can I just say how much these recent posts have helped. Hazel, I couldn't agree more. People mean well but unless they've been through this they haven't got a clue. I feel in a similar hormonal state to you - I'm 48 too....has anything been mentioned about which hormonal cocktail they will put you on once chemo and rads completed? I guess on top of everything we are all completely mentally and emotionally spent. I've got weekly 6 taxols still to go, then radiotherapy but at least whilst on treatment you feel something is in your body actively working, as vile as the SEs are.... I am so worried as to the uncertainty of when treatment is over, although I guess those of us who are hormone positive at least have some ongoing protection from endocrine treatment? My onc has mentioned ovary removal. Don't know if anyone else has had that little nugget mentioned too? Anyway, big hugs to all July starters. You are all amazing xxx
