Tamoxifen
Hi Everyone
I am new to BCNA, My name is Gaynor, i am 48 years old, I was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer 7 weeks ago, i had surgery to remove the lump and test the lymph nodes, but thankfully...
Hey Gaynor.
We have the same story i was diagnosed in may 14 at 47. Bummer you have to join our group but we are all here to support one another
Lumpectomy, 6 rounds of chemo and radio and had tamoxifen for just over 12 months. This week i started on arimidex as i am now post menopausal. I didnt question whether to take tamoxifen or not. I just took it as the benefits outweigh the negatives. Only side effect i experienced was hot flushes which are a pain but hey i wasnt far of menopause anyway.
Trust in your medical team and remember to ask as many questions as you need to.
Hope all goes well for you and stay in touch.
Sending best wishes your way.??
