The surgery was pretty easy and I was scared out of my mind going in as I had never had general anesthesia. I also did 4 weeks of radiation which left my breast tender. But 3 months out it’s pretty normal. I may have been a little fatigued at end of radiation. Not so much that I didn’t break my leg skiing and in combination with Tamoxifen which I felt pretty good on developed a blood clot. So now 5 weeks into Femara. Most noted SE is vaginal dryness. I helped my sister in law through hospice at 61 with similar diagnosis who didn’t take the drugs. So I’m trying to avoid worrying about every side effect. I will be 59 next week. My aunt was 101 this week I want to be like her.

With regard to the vaginal dryness, my doctor suggested Good Clean Love moisturizing gel. I use it twice a day and it has worked wonders. Maybe give it a try. It is on Amazon and isn't terribly priced. You definitely do not need much. The instructions say to use the applicator, which would mean using way more than you need, so keep that in mind as well.
