Hi there. I have not posted in a while but I’ve had my 6 rounds of chemo , a double mastectomy and lymph nodes taken under left arm. I have a port now also as I’ve been put on a clinical trial and so far I’ve had 4/14 cycles. They’re a lot shorter than my original 6 but I feel like it’s never going to end , so many side effects , some not so bad but starting to feel a bit of anxiety and not sure if it’s from taking anastrozole How do others feel taking this drug.? It kind of freaks me out having to take it for 5 years . Im
seeing a psychologist tomorrow to discuss my fears about anxiety and depression. Cancer is so much more than having cancer. It’s everything that goes with it. The side effects , anxiety , depression or sadness , losing your hair and breasts , putting on weight from
steroids, ulcers, heartburn , bloating , gas , lethargy. When does it all end ? Feeling very down presently.
I need hope for the future 🥲🥲
