MM I've called him and they are going to repeat my hormone profile blood test. I've been on it for 8/9 weeks and started the second period on it in the night. I just don't want oestrogen or progesterone floating around especially as they didn't treat the micro mets in my sentinal node. ( I do believe in research and that states not to treat but it's on my mind) Thanks for your support Hx ... View more

Many thanks for ringing the bell for me. It's great to be home. My skin is a bit sore but not broken. I'm tired but okay. My onc, GP and family all want me to have 3 weeks off which seems excessive but I'm going to see how I feel. Hx ... View more

Hi I hade a lumpectomy in July for a grade 2 invasive BC. I have just finished radiotherapy and haven't had to have chemotherapy. I had micro mets but am told not to worry about that as per research. I was on HRT at diagnosis. (Stopped before surgery) I was oestrogen and progesterone positive. A blood test confirmed I was post menopausal. I am on anastrozole and am still having periods. I'm worried that I'm stilll producing hormones that are harmful to me. Does anyone else still have periods on this? MC Helen ... View more

Hi I am starting my radoitherapy tomorrow. I live in the Channel Islands and will have to stay in the UK for the duration of my treatment.  I had a lumpectomy and sentinal node biopsy 7 weeks ago. I'm going to miss my husband and children. The children are adults but my son is autistic and my step daughter has profound learning disabilities. And that's just 2 of the 4.  My husband is coming over for the day tomorrow to get me settled in.  I will be near my sisters and friends in Stockport and traveling to the Christie each day.  (just a short bus ride) I have to do the breath holding technique. I'm a nurse so I'm not too worried.  In 3 weeks and 1 day it will all be over, I'll be home and back to normal. Good luck to everyone  Helen x ... View more
