Tamoxifen Yes or No?
Hi,
I am after some feedback from people who have been recommended to take tamoxifen and why they decided yes or no it wasnt for them. Anyone that has taken it what side effects if any did you have...

In 2003 I had just one 2cm lump and my surgeon said I could choose but thought lumpectomy and full node clearance was the better option for me.At the time,I was horrified about a mastectomy but in hindsight I probably should have had that.Because I had radiation my options for reconstruction are now limited.I had the mastectomy in 2010 so am now lopsided.I wear a prosthesis and I'm sort of ok with it. I don't want any more surgery for the moment but that may change down the track.After 2 bouts of bc,I'm somewhat paranoid about checking my scarline.Have a look at my reply to Janet - has info on the drugs I take to help with Tamoxifen side effects.Kylie,I know just how shocked you must have felt when the doctor said mastectomy.It is such a cruel operation on so many levels.It's hard to come to terms with an altered body image.Hope you are going ok.
