Stopping Tamoxifen

Hi, Allicat, I couldnt take Tamoxifen, it made me so ill, so I was then put on Armidex, which after 3 months, I then started with really bad pain in my bones, so I stopped this. Their is only one more tablet that is available to me, and I am not taking it, it is scary when you make the decision not to do it, but I am only starting to feel like myself again, after 16 months. So I dont want to take something that could make me ill again. I know my husband wants me to try it, but I just dont want to feel the way I have on previous tablets. My Oncologist told me that if this tablet doesnt work, then all their is to do is have tests to keep a check on things, make sure the cancer doesnt appear somewhere else. I had a complete hysterectomy last year, as the breast cancer I had was estrogen positive, and to prevent this returning I was recommended that this was the best way to deal with this.  It is all very hard, and the side effects of the tablets out way the benefits for me. I hope I have made the right decision, but it is out of my hands now. I am just concentrating on getting myself healthy.
