Medical oncologist
From January of this year I have had a operation to plate my broken humerous of 3 months unhealed so I could start chemo, done chemo TCH for 6 sessions 3 weeks apart, I then had a bi-lateral mastect...

Saw Oncologist this week, due to bone pain and achy joints I requested a break from Femara and asked should I go onto Tamoxifen, response I got was Femara only causes pain in hands and feet. Stop Femara for 2 weeks and get back to him if I want a script for Tamoxifen. It was all left so open ended with no answer. I am also on Zoloft for the hot flushes and I remembered someone saying you cannot take this with Tamoxifen but ok to take with Femara.
Blood tests were high with calcium and liver/kidney function readings, Oncologist said it was ok as it was all even higher last time ( failed to mention this).
Feel like I cannot question anything, made to feel like a hypocondriac.
When I said my GP was very worried about liver function test he said it was the Femara. I am ok with that. Then next minute he is telling me I should have a body bone scan, expects nothing from it but get it done soon.
Why is it all so difficult, my first Oncologist was good until she had a personal breakdown, I think this new one cannot be bothered.
It really is too hard some days. I think they prefer us to have our head in a bucket of sand and not ask questions.
Candy sad girl.
