Nerve pain after surgery and tamoxifen
Hi Ladies,
Its been one week now since I had my lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy and Ive been really lucky- cancer was still grade one and didn't spread to any lymph nodes. My treatment ...
Hi Sunny,
I'm 36 had a right Mastectomy, Chemo, Radiation and started Tamoxifen about 6 weeks ago. I found I was quite nauseas for the first couple of weeks on Tamoxifen but this has gone away now. I had already started having some hot flushes from the chemo and yes the Tamoxifen has made them worse especially at night time and I know how you feel at this age, I am 36 not 56! I am hoping in time this will settle down. My cancer had spread to the lymph nodes so there was never a question whether I would take it or not.
For the radiation I used Moo Goo (Skin Milk Udder Cream) three times a day which was suggested by a few lovely ladies on here and my skin held up really well. Even the technicians were surprised as I am very light skinned and burn easily, so I recommend getting yourself a tube or two!
Good Luck and ask all the questions you can think off.
