Thanks to ALL who have taken the time to respond to me.  Very much appreciated.  My surgery is tomorrow.  I've not had time to wallow in my diagnosis and kept myself busy and of course I have read ALL of your lovely replies and well wishes.  I've had Avrul Bluming's book a while and will address the issue of staying on very low dose HRT v Tamoxifen post surgery.  I've already started to wean off since last Tuesday and already noticed a difference 

My menopause specialist has yet to respond to my further questions given its been a long bank holiday weekend, I shall now wait until after surgery to chase her up.  I refuse to be "thrown under a bus re hormones" and will not go back to the dark place I was in last year.  I have ordered a Ladycare magnet and menopause aromatherapy cream but nothing can beat a dab of oestrogen!  I want this nasty lump out and then get the pathology results.  Up until then, I will continue to wean and use a dab here and there.  One lump in 17 years of using HRT.

If my diagnosis wasn't bad enough, my husband had a seizure yesterday..completely out of the blue.  We had just had a drive out in his pride and joy sports car and had, luckily, stopped for a coffee and nice cafe.  10 mins inside cafe and boom he collapsed.  Came round quickly but cafe owner was first aid trained and called an ambulance.  We spent 6 hours at the hospital getting him checked over and then discharged for GP to sort and refer to neurology.  Life is certainly giving us a kicking at the moment but...onwards and upwards.

Again, thank you ALL for being so kind and supportive.  Much love back at you all and I'll keep you posted once I'm through tomorrow xxx

Bugga ...... never rains does it!

Hope all goes as well as can be expected.  Take that list.  Ask, ask, ask .......... maybe suggest a copy of that book for the Team to read ;-)

 

Did your DH not eat correctly, does he have a nerve in the back of his neck which may have caused the black out?  Was it a seizure ........

Really sorry to hear about the seizure too. I had epilepsy as a teenager (before surgery) so know what it is like to have something like that. Fingers crossed that it was a one off and nothing serious.

Cazjen44. Will be thinking of you and there is HRT after BC so don't give up on it.  I am no expert but maybe the suggestion of Tibolone is worth looking at as it has the testosterone element that you had before.  I also would recommend Oestrogen Matters book. Best of luck.

Hi Cazjen,

I'm so sorry that you're having such a truly dreadful time of it. I hope that you can find some comfort in all the support here.

Hi Cazjen,

Sorry to hear your horrible news.

Hope all went well today. My friend went through exactly the same as you, diagnosed just before Christmas, lumpectomy, radiotherapy for 4 weeks & now back at work.
Also never been on HRT, so that was not the cause.
Be good to yourself and accept any help and support from those around you.❤️💕

..... and breath.  Hopefully you won't be too sore after!

Good Luck Cazjen - I hope it all goes well ❤️❤️

Hi Cazjen

So sorry to hear about the awful things you are going through at the moment. Sorry to be so late (I haven't been here for a few days), but wishing you all the best with everything, and I hope the surgery went well and you are recovering well.  Also sending best wishes to your husband, and that he gets back to full health too.

We are all here to support you, and we are all hoping to hear from you soon 

Take care

Jeepers xx
