What has every one else done to help with the healing . I will call by breast care nurse on Monday see what she says about it . It just seems to never end .

I had lumpectomy in july . Sll seems to be ok still a bit hard but getting there . Started taking anastrozole the side effects have hit me . Joint pain is not to bad more in my hips. Hot flushes are another story I am struggling with them as well as sleeping. I sm really struggling with sleep. Fatigue And need a nanny nap in the afternoon. Which I have managed to cut back on to see if this did help with sleeping at night. But this has not helped. I am due to start radiotherapy on Thursday. And very nervous about this I have been to.see the team been shown everything but still.very nervous . I think I just need to do it and then I may feel better about it . X
