breast cance
"Diagnosed in 1/2016: Estrogen receptive intraductal papillary carcinoma, left breast.  Lucky to have a lumpectomy & clear margins.  No lymph nodes.  However, had a heart attack & quad bypass a week later.  So--no radiation on orders of the Cardio Dr. No Tamoxofin since heart disease is a side effect. Began Arimidex in April. I am up 30 #, the hot flashe/night sweats are horrible, tired all the time, no sex drive, vaginal dryness (taking osphena for that which helps), depressed, short of breath.  So far no joint pain but swelling in my feet if I sit too long.  Everyone says "excercise!" but it's hard to do that when I just want to sleep! Wondering if it is worth it for the small % it can offer."
