Hi all haven't been on for a while. have just been struggling through and trying to get on top of health stuff.I can't take in all the news but congrats if you've had a clear mammogram, picc line out or have gone back to work. I've just been signed off for another 3 months as I'm struggling. Feeling less depressed and anxious though so that's good! Keep trying to take things on to help myself like exercise and diet but can't really maintain anything at the moment. having probs with sickness/indigestion, hot flushes, weeing all the time, not sleeping and fatigue. I'm putting it all down to tamoxifen and am seriously thinking of stopping taking it when I've seen onc in Feb- If only to find out if it's responsible for all these things! I'm planning to come to manchester. I've trawled through but can't find the date we're going- pretty sure it's the 4th April but don't want to book train until someone else has reassured me! no confidence in memory lol. I saw plastic surgeon last week who was great. He doesn't think fat transfer will do it for me sadly so it looks like surgery if I go ahead. He suggested breast reduction to remove scar tissue( which has tethered). This means surgery to good breast too- not sure what I think about that yet, or use tissue from stomach or back like you mx ladies are having to reconsruct affected breast to match the other one. Is anyone else having reduction to the good side? I can't do anything until 12 mnths after rads which is october for me so i have lots of time to think. Sandy- glad you're back on your horse! take it easy everyone- love & hugs Mel
