Hi Lisa,
I was talking to my naturopath about hormone therapies yesterday - she is also a practicing oncology nurse so I do trust what she says. I had ovaries, tubes and uterus taken out 11 days ago (I'm 42), and I see my Oncologist on Tuesday to do the hormone therapy change over from Tamoxifen to something else. I have to admit the last 2 weeks without Tamoxifen have been heaven.
We were discussing the something else and was it better or worse than Tamoxifen. The naturopath said she is actually better at helping the symptoms from the Femara (her preference) and Arimidex or Aromasin over Tamoxifen and believes that they are generally better tolerated than Tamoxifen. So try the Vit D(my gyny onc insists it be taken) and the Magnesium (also approved by my oncologist and BS) also plenty of omega 3 rich foods can help with inflammation while you wait for your surgery but you may find that the drug change is actually a blessing.
Hoping you get some relief,
Jen
