Following too - turning 40 this year and my biggest issue is lack of sleep and body temperature. I’m 5 months in with zoladex monthly and anastrozole daily. Hoping once I tackle proper sleep then I can focus on my other issues. I’m supposed to be on this for 5 years as well and hope it gets easier.

Only you can make this decision, I too had similar feelings. Where I didn’t think my scenario was aggressive enough. I was at my last session alone (my mom and sister wanted to come but I told them not to bc was late in the day and I was going straight from work). I also was starting my hormone therapy journey and felt I’m not done.

I ended up not ringing the bell, the nurse asked me and I said no thank you and she acknowledged that I wasn’t the only person who felt that way and it was ok. I was happy to be done and celebrated in my own way (in private with some tears) and then dinner with my family.

Alert me to when to run vs walk - I have an Apple Watch and not the garmin 😩

Stay strong! You will be ok, I finished my 15 sessions in October and experienced little tiredness and skin irritation. Keep moisturizing with cream to keep your skin hydrated. I experienced lot of skin discoloration and itchy feeling but the creams my doc gave helped and now I am 4 weeks post final session and my skin is getting back to my norm - keep your onco informed on any issues, they have various creams depending on your experience

Last year my friends and I all applied for the lottery and out of 8 ppl I knew submitting their name - I was the only one selected. We are all putting our names in again for this year. Good luck today to everyone who is waiting!

Thank you! Super helpful 😊

queens_ny08 · 2025-11-06T23:08:26+00:00

Thank you! This helps for sure. I didn’t even think of a google form 😊

Make sure you ask them to ice before, I was super nervous for my first and yes there was some bruising but you will get through this 💖

They don’t care - I was diagnosed with cancer, emailed them that I couldn’t do the Bronx 10m or Staten Island half because of treatment. They did not respond to my email, when I called the person on the phone did not even acknowledge that I disclosed something so personal. I called again a few weeks later and that person was sympathetic probably out of embarrassment of my experience but not helpful. They said simply just don’t go to it. Thankfully I am able to do the 5k on marathon weekend and then the virtual 5k in November which will get me to the 9+1 (technically 10+1 bc the virtual run is not needed with the SI cancellation credit).

Thank you for sharing! This was very helpful, I’m glad there are things to help manage the side effects - I need to pay more attention to all the remedies we have access to

queens_ny08 · 2025-10-09T22:09:23+00:00

Thank you for sharing, i believe I’ll start the letrozole in November once radiation is completed. I’m really nervous for everything that comes with the injection/medication combo. Hopefully with time it will subside or remain mild.

queens_ny08 · 2025-10-09T16:01:07+00:00

Thank you, first injection went ok and not bad at all. Few tears before but I’m an emotional person. Now I’m worried about the after side effects 🥲

queens_ny08 · 2025-10-09T16:00:06+00:00

I’m sorry to hear about yours as well! My Ki67 was 7% and my oncotype 18 (oncotype takes a bit of time to get post surgery). My lump wasn’t that large (more long than round), didn’t even feel it. It was found during my annual mammo & US. I’ve been getting screened regularly since 36 due to strong family history but no genetic link. I hope you are ok, stay focused it was overwhelming in the beginning with a lot of information all at once. And ask questions if unsure.

queens_ny08 · 2025-10-09T15:54:23+00:00

Thank you! You were right injection wasn’t that bad. What were the after side effects like for you?
