so good to hear from everyone 😊 ! @Tootle , Terri. so sorry to hear you have possible Mets, glad to hear you have found a face to face group, I found talking to others in similar situations really helps..  what an amazing trip you have to look forward to 😊 .. have fun everyday 😊 I have been thinking of you all for a long time…once radiotherapy finished it felt like I had to get back to business as usual 😬 !  but I have found keeping busy does take my mind off everything  I’m taking Anastrazole daily, which plays its role in my day ( stiff joints and fatigue!) but I’m determined not to let it rule.. have just returned back to swimming, which I find really helps … I was supposed to start ibandronic acid .. but have chose not to take it at the moment want to tackle one medication at the time.. mammagram due in a few weeks 😬 🤞🏽 🙏🏽 stay strong everyone, and happy to chat with you at anytime xxxx ...

Hi @whyte  fingers crossed your bloods are ok 🙏🏽  I’m experiencing pains and  PIns and needles in my fingers and toes too and very stiff legs and arms and back! i found if I keep active it helps with the stiffness ( a doctor friend who I walk with was saying my muscles are waking up! What muscles..,. 🤣 I’m currently skin and bones.. and they are brittle at the moment 🤣 🤪!) Each day I feel a little better., nails appear to be returning back to a lighter shade of grey! 😂 Take  each day @whyte … 🙏🏽 😘     ... View more
