Welcome Samy! Hoping you find the exchange of information from this board to be as valuable as I have found it to be. We’re all in this journey together-our diagnosis are each unique to us individually, but I have found the support of other women who are breast cancer survivors to be invaluable. Yes, the side effects of medications we must take are not pleasant. However, the alternative risk of recurrence of cancer is also dreadful! I have learned from this journey that I have a choice of a living with side effects of the meds, or living with the fear of a higher risk of cancer returning. Neither of those options is a ‘good’ choice. So far, I have chosen to live with the side effects of the meds and the inconvenience of a somewhat lower quality of life, rather than living with increased the risk of recurrence. Cancer changed my life completely and unfortunately there is no going back to the security of having a healthy body that I had previously. It sucks, but that’s reality. And the bottom line is there really isn’t much we can do about it.
