Tamoxifen - doubts???
Hi Ladies
Is anyone questioning or has refused to take the hormone therapy?
I have just completed 4 sessions of TC chemo and am about to commence 6 weeks of radiotherapy but this hormone therapy ...

I have read this post with much interest. I started in Arimidex and then moved to tamoxifin due to side effects. Like the other ladies I started with hot flushes, aches, emotional issues, fatigue and sleeplessness and the dreaded cramps. I am 12 months down the line and I still have the cramps, I take magnesium for this and only get occassional breakthrough, my sleeplessness is still there but not as bad and I haved some body aches. These things are controlable.
My onc has told me I will be on hormone suppressants for 10 years not 5 I did question this and like Deanne my chances of reoccurance is reduced enough for me to go with her recommendation.
Cancer likes my body and its a tenent I do not want, along with BC I also had renal cancer so for me it was a no brainer. But I feel its good to research, be informed and make the decision that is best for you.
Good luck with your chioices
