Tamoxifen timing
Hi, I had my final chemo on Friday yay but now I'm facing up to the Tamoxifen. When I first saw my Oncologist I thought he said I'd start the Tamox after my Radiotherapy but the registrar on my final chemo day said to start a week after chemo. I'm weaning off Prednisone and will start the Tamox the next day. I was hoping for a few weeks reprieve, It seems to me that the chemo side effects will just become the Tamoxifen side effects. They also suggested an oopherectomy is that suggested for everybody. I couldn't face more surgery not yet. . When did you start taking Tamoxifen was it before or after radiotherapy.
Thanks Fiona.
