Tamoxifen, Aromatase Inhibitors, low thyroid function
For anyone on Tamoxifen or Aromatase Inhibitors suffering depression, anxiety, or weight gain it may be worth having your thyroid tested. Here is link to medical journal I have quickly found.

Yes, I must admit he rocked my world yesterday. I was so upset. It is so hard making decisions about our treatments. I went to my GP today and as it turns out my thyroid is OK so I can't blame that either. Maybe that's why he got so angry with me. I only ask questions because I am trying to figure out what is happening, the cause etc so I can make proper decisions about what is right for me. In the 2 years since surgery I have barely been on anything. Every Aromatase Inhibitor I tried gave me serious side effects. Femara put me in hospital as I was allergic to Letrozole. I thought I was going to die. I am about to start the anti-depressants tonight and report back to Oncologist in 5 weeks. If I have improved I will be put back on Tamoxifen. Will let everyone know how I go.
