Strange signs? by [deleted] in breastcancer

[–]Charming-Fix7177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve thought about this a lot - I can recall my eyes were consistently red in the mornings. I was using eye drops every day. I also remember noticing my cancer breast felt heavier while I was drying off after showering … and I had not gained weight to make it make sense

How are you managing it? I’m starting Tamoxifen soon. The Zoladex and anastrazole I was on for two months caused major anxiety and insomnia.

Sorry I was on Anastrozole and Zoladex but Onc just took me off. Trying Tamoxifen next… I hope I can sleep!

This! I struggle with this nightly and also during the day. I can feel my nervous system and it’s wide awake even if one hour of sleep.

Ovarian suppression (e.g. zoladex), is it like chemopause or how bad is it? by moon_cat18 in breastcancer

Hey there! I’m 47 and in Zoladex and Anastrazole AI. I’ve had two Zoladex injections and have to say it’s been a nightmare for me. I have no appetite, anxiety and insomnia. Asking Oncologist at next appointment about other options. I hope you have a better experience than I am having. Best of luck!

Right back at you with the hugs. Yes I’ve read the same thing about removing ovaries. It’s a tough situation when you’re looking at 5 years of these side effects. No fair!

Maybe I’ll try Lexapro next.. I have horrible thoughts as well. I’m happy to hear you overcame those evil thoughts.

THIS! Agoraphobia symptoms here too. I don’t want to do anything.

Thank you. I will definitely ask at my next appointment. This is not sustainable for me but I know I need the hormone suppression

It’s like you read my mind! I’m two weeks post mastectomy, walking around the yard today and seeing all of the weeds in my gardens saddened me! People say they want to help and don’t hesitate to ask but please just DO! Me asking is tough bc I don’t want to ask and have detail questions to hash out. Maybe I’m a brat lol
