It’s a week since I got my first zoladex implant and I’ve now taken seven tamiprofen (at precisely 9 pm – I’ve set an alarm on my phone).

I’ve been wondering when the side effects will set in – I am expecting to experience every possible side effect and then some.

Somewhere in my mind, I’ve decided that my body being as weird and wonky it is, I should expect side effects before effects.

Yesterday I was showering and I realised that my tit no longer looks nice, firm and plump. One dimple has turned into many dents. I figured this might be my imagination working overtime.

This morning, I can no longer pretend. My right tit now looks like a shrivelling balloon. Not only has it shrivelled, the tumour seems to have decreased in both size and density. I’m due for a new deep biopsy on the 13th so it will be exciting to see if the tumour will deflate as rapidly as it grew and what the biopsy, blood work and imaging will show.
