Tamoxifen I want to say no
Hi, just curious if anyone has said no to taking tamoxifen??. I am terrified of the idea of taking it and cannot see past the array of side effects it can inflict..I mentioned to the onco that I wasn'...
@kmakm I eventually got to view your webcast and yes, they avoided your key questions.
@Red1 I took myself off Letrozole because I couldn't cope with the side effects. My med oncologist tried to persuade me to take Tamoxifen but I said I wouldn't even consider it until after my explant surgery. That's been delayed and delayed, but is now scheduled for 8 Aug and she wants to talk to me asap after that. I'm determined not to agree until I'm well and truly recovered and fit again. At 76, I want quality of life rather than duration. I may consider a Tamoxifen trial after I've done of a couple of key projects I want to achieve. To each of us our own choices!
