Hi all! Soon I will be coming off of Arimidex after 10 years! I'm nervous but hoping that maybe I will feel better. My eyes are getting worse and my hair has thinned soooooo much.

This is half just a venting post, and half a serious question about life after….. So I am in my mid-late 40s, BRCA1+, and have had BC twice in my lifetime (first time in my early 30s, second time this year; I've also had risk-reducing gyn surgery).

I sleep with a little soft boob pillow in a tank top to keep up the illusion of shape, but it's just a little insert thing that they gave me at the hospital to wear post op.

I had bad neuropathy for a few years after, took gabapentin which helped reduce pain and went off the medication because I was ok. I have had the neuropathy- mostly pain-sometimes since then like once a month. The last…
I'm just wondering if anyone else feels like me. I was diagnosed in 2018, had the DMX, followed by chemo, and then monoclonal antibodies, finishing up in September, 2019. I'm still on letrozole and trying to get my feet on the ground after pretty much shutting my career down while I was in treatment. During 2019 I was…
