That's right Phillipa, since estrogen and progesterone fed my cancer, they are now the enemies. Once chemo is done I will go on drugs to block estrogen. They can cause joint pain, hot flashes, hair thinning, bone loss, vaginal atrophy and all the other joys of menopause. Then I'll need other stuff to help with those side effects. I hear exercise can really help with the joint pain and bone loss. That's the one thing I'm looking forward to-- extra motivation to exercise. Plus there is evidence it lowers risk of cancer recurrence.
My days of taking few or no pills and rarely seeing the doctor are over!
