Other than the rash on my chest and redness & acute sensitivity, I’m ok. I went to see my radiology oncologist in the middle of the week after I finished; and he said it’s not uncommon for it to get worse before it gets better. He says that within 3 weeks it should be gone.
That being said I started Anastrozole on March 1st. I’m taking collagen (since my surgery in Dec), in hopes it helps with joint pain, which seems to be the most common complaint. I try not to read too much so I don’t freak myself out imagining all the possibilities. I’m trying to keep taking deep breaths and deal with each situation as it comes.
Thanks so much for thinking of me. How are you doing in your journey?
