Hey there Fran, I know this is old,, hope all is well with you and yours,,
Im doing a lot of reading lately and many women go off Tamoxifen to get pregnant then back on it,, Im seriously considering going off it for 6 weeks to lose some weight because my BMI says Im 'obese' hate that word, but I cannot fit into any of my clothes and once had a walkinrobe of three sides with draws,, now its all packed up and full of 'fat clothes'... I too am on anti-depressant for the panic attacks that started with chemo and now get really bad with the hot flushes, Just on Alazapran or something like that , lol, can never say it,,
But yes, I have been toatally compliant throughout all of my treatment and the "choices" I got to make about about it, yeh right,, but have come to the decision that I think im going to take a break, get my metabolism into gear and then go back,, emailed my Onc but not heard from him,, lol, he prob thinkin im having a crazy day,, but its totally distressing me,, i walk, am eating so healthy, and no alcohol, no smoker,, Im hearin yas sisters!!
Went to a site in the US where they said it was the chemo that puts the weight on,, i put on 4 kilos thru chemo,, then i lost 5 kilo between Radio and starting Tamoxifen,, have stayed there at the same weight ever since,, its the Tamoxifen alright,,
oh and last week my reco surgeon said 'its twice as hard for me to lose weight as any one else because of Tamoxifen'!!
so i am of the view that if they are doing it to get pregnant, i can certainly do a wee spell off,, any comments on that??
