Oncol. recommending switch from Tamoxifen to Zoladex/Aromisin
Appointments are all set for a bone density scan, bloods and info session to make the switch. My oncol has suggested this combo has a slightly better outlook than tamoxifen. Bonus sweetner... may only need 5 years instead of 10! Problem is, like with every new treatment suggestion, I'm anxious about side-effects. I've just learned to live with my Tamoxifen/Palbociclib combo and now they want to up the ante AGAIN! I'm already achy, tired, heavier than I'd like, unfit, unable to hold a line of thought, moody, intollerant, zero interest in sex, hot and sweaty.
Anyone switched from Tamoxifen to Zoladex/AI combo? What was your experience? How much worse can the menopause symptoms get? Any thoughts?
