Hi there
I was diagnosed at 32, its now been over a year since my diagnoses. I finished radiation in June but started Tamoxifen March. My tumour was 99.9% oestrogen positive so I had no choice. Its taken about six months to get used to the side effects. But now I am able to lead a relatively normal life. Now my oncologist wants me to go on Zoladex Injections as well that will force me into menopause. Im very apprehensive about it as I've done a lot of research and not many women our age cope with the added side effects. Its double dosing you and just as I'm started to head forward I take it as two steps back. The quality of life issues that go with it concern me. I'll be discussing it further with my onc next month. Is there anyone out there that is on both Zoladex and Tamoxifen? If so how are you going on them both?
wOdz: I suggest you do your research, ask plenty of questions and what your options are before committing to anything. At the end of the day it is your body and you have to make the best decision that suits you and your specific type of BC. I wish you the very best of luck :-)
