Thank you! Am picking my Tamoxifen up this morning. Still can't believe that all of my treatment is done-in less than 2mths from finding the lump! Am SO lucky.xx

That is fab, I had 1 node involved so needed chemo and radiotherapy delaying recon but was caught early so feel lucky too, need to keep going Sue, btw I find taking my tablets in the evening seem to cause less flushes, I gradually moved taking mine forward an hour seeing if the effects changed at all, fingers crossed yours are minimal x

Thanks Mell-feel a bit weird today,like I want to forget the whole thing happened,almost to the point of pretending it didn't! Am probably overthinking it,also feel abit guilty that I got it so easy,and others are not so lucky. XX

I totally get that. I'm returning to work tonight for first shift but have spent this last week wondering what that 5 months of diagnosis and treatment was about, seems like a lifetime ago, like it happened to someone else because I feel great and I didn't expect to. 😃

That's fantastic news. I'm like you I had my mastectomy end of October, cried with joy when they said lymph nodes were clear. Just recovery,as I had a couple of complications and tamoxifen for five years.. I did struggle a bit with guilt feeling I got off lightly. So pleased for you. Xxx
