It is important to escape from all of this and take a cancer-vacay. You totally have to plan a treatment ending holiday! But dont do it too soon after... you will need time to recover.

Almost canceled the trip but SO glad we went right before my treatment started. I'm already trying to plan a trip for when treatment ends :)<br /><br />Best of luck with the pills, curious to hear how it goes for you as I'll be facing the same struggles in a few months.<br /><br />Bask in that happiness as best as you can - we deserve it!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17108215611310679547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829279604058798034.post-47437392382183911662012-11-05T20:03:03.965-08:002012-11-05T20:03:03.965-08:00I am still smiling quite a bit about it!

I could never regret doing it and know now how much we really did need and deserve it.<br /><br />Indeed we will find our new normal... I know time will help heal too. There are just so many stages in this whole process. So many changes along the way. <br /><br />Im glad I could offer up some tips for you this week's first treatment. Good you have some kind of anti-anxiety too as backup. It really does take the edge off if you end up losing your shit. Whenever I felt a fainting episode coming on or a panic attack I would just nod to the nurse to hook me up with the little life saving chill pill. So grateful for that. <br /><br />Love that you were dancin with Lola! At least we can be crazies together hehe ;) <br /><br />Good luck this week! xoashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13537925034991767149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829279604058798034.post-14533876022262128382012-11-04T21:26:00.200-08:002012-11-04T21:26:00.200-08:00Thanks for the info Lillie...

I mostly just observe and 'like' the occasional tweet.<br /><br />I have been noticing hot flashes so far and a bit more tired then usual at odd times in the day... already only a few days I am surprised to be noticing changes already. I think on Zoladex I'd notice it much more since I really suffered on that stuff. It made me crazy hot all the time. I am glad to hear you are doing well on both. <br /><br />Yes, everyone is different... thank you for sharing your experience with it. All the best to you. xo<br /><br />ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13537925034991767149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829279604058798034.post-53298686960876845272012-11-04T14:03:43.761-08:002012-11-04T14:03:43.761-08:00Girlie I'm so glad you had such a good time! P...Girlie I'm so glad you had such a good time! Please do not feel guilty about it.. you guys totally deserved it! The stuff we have to put up with isn't normal.. you deserve a break from it! I'm so happy for you it was a good one! <br /><br />I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you so that the side effects won't be too bad! I agree with what Lillie said, that the stories we read on the internet are usually the ones of people who struggle with their treatment. If you're doing fine, out there living your life, who write/blog about it on websites right?! But you are going to find that happy place again! It's a tough road, it's not something you get over in a day. But like someone once posted on my blog "You will find a new normal". I'm here for you! <br /><br />Oh and I wanted to thank you for the advice you posted on my blog. I'll definitely keep it in mind.. water water water! ;) I already am using Oxazepam (related to the Ativan family I think?!) ever since being diagnosed. It does calm me down a bit. <br /><br />I had to clean my bunnies' cage this morning and instead I listened to The Doors and danced with Lola through the room. So I don't think you're crazy. Or maybe we're both crazy ;)<br /><br />Cielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15300663613530232897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829279604058798034.post-13085477696865017162012-11-04T09:32:17.675-08:002012-11-04T09:32:17.675-08:00Thanks for following me on Twitter (I don't tw...Thanks for following me on Twitter (I don't tweet much about cancer though).<br /><br />I haven't read much of your blog yet but just wanted to say, I started tamoxifen about four months ago, and I also get zoladex injections for two years which ensure I am in chemical menopause, and I am FINE on them. I was really scared and had read that menopausal symptoms would be worse for someone as young as me (30), and my gynaecologist also prepared me for quite bad side effects. <br /><br />To start with, I had very odd dreams and didn't sleep well. Now I have some mild hot flushes - I feel them, but no one else can tell - and am sometimes somewhat tired. But nothing else. Really. I honestly feel it is no big deal to keep taking the tablets. <br /><br />Every person is different, but quite naturally, people who really struggle with the side effects tend to spend more time posting about them on the internet, so I hope this gives you a bit of hope ;-)Lillie Langtryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16857495651566700616noreply@blogger.com
