I am just over 2yrs out from diagnosis (last chemo dec 2011) I still don't feel "normal". Im starting to think I never will, and that's ok I just want to know what SE people have that are still lingering. Worst for me is the fatique, I just cant seem to do as much as before, I tire easily and am ready for bed by 9pm. The joint and bone pain is better since I stopped Lupron but still there. Hot flashes are brutal but I deal with them as best I can
Adjusting to my new normal and am mourning my old (energetic) self.
I hate to complain because I know my sisters here are dealing with so much more.

Any advice on how you are handling the changes and if they get better EVER
