Tamoxifen, Aromatase Inhibitors, low thyroid function

Hi Suzie - sorry, I've been out of the loop on all this - away and busy with work. Can you find a really good medical herbalist? I may have mentioned this before, but mine did her PhD in herbs/menopause, has had breast cancer and has treated me for menopause symptoms for the past 15 months. I also opted not to take Tamoxifen because of the side effects, so she has me on  natural stuff. I too have really bad reactions to some medications. Even with the herbal tonic, if she puts the wrong thing in it, my hot flushes become really bad. All this costs a lot - about $300 a month - but it's worth it for quality of life. You can take things like Kava and St Johns Wort for anxiety/depression, and I find they do work. She's in Melbourne, but she might do a Skype consult with you? Then post you the preparations? Let me know if you want her details, and I'll private message you. And I'd tell the onco to take a flying jump. No, actually, just cancel the appointment and don't go back and waste any more money/emotion on him. His behaviour is shocking. Take care, Pam xx
