Open wounds that don't heal are are nightmare on chemo. I believe your oncologist is looking at you as an individual. ..as he should. You have renal disease already...its very hard on kidneys. ..you have wound issues...6 months of chemo would guarantee it won't heal in that time and becoming septic from the woubd is a very real risk on chemo. Tamoxifen is given to post menopause women who need an alternative to aramatose inhibutors and it was all there was given a number of years back and was effective for many women . I think your oncologist is very sensible. Yes you could have a second opinion if you wished. ..but he is planning on very close monitoring to ensure all is good. Are you having radiotherapy to your node area?
