Tamoxifen better for 10 years?
Hi! I was diagnosed with bbc, ER+ PR+ HER2-. I had bmx, chemotherapy and I'm taking Tamoxifen. I'm waiting for having breast reconstruction done. I'd like to know if you were told to have Tamoxifen f...
I have been on Tamoxifen for a month. I have pure Micropapillary breast cancer so the chance of it coming back is quite high, originally 50%, now around 30%. I had a lumpectomy then a week later a mastectomy, followed by 6 months of chemo and radiotherapy. I had 5 cancerous lymph nodes, stage 2B, grade 3 tumour. I'm 43.
I have trouble sleeping and get so hot at night time. It's quite distressing. Yesterday I decided to give it up, panicked and started taking it again. It's just too much sometimes. People at work think I should be fine now that I've finished chemo and radiotherapy. They keep saying how happy I must be but I feel like I've come back from a war zone. I'm just emotionally exhausted. Is anyone else feeling this way? Does it get better?
