The tears are driving me mad
Hello i am 4 year survivor and have been on tamoxifen the four years. i am fed up with flushes, feeling like utter crap, NO libido (can’t remember what intimacy with my husband feels like) mood swin...
Hi@Jacquip,
At the 4 and a half year mark onTamoxifen i asked my oncologist for a change. I had managed the lack of sleep, memory problems etc but ongoing gynae problems and some ups and downs emotionally really got me down.
He totally agreed a change was warranted and switched me to arimidex which i tolerated much better. Unfortunately due to already having osteoporosis when scanned and lots of joint problems I was taken off all medications earliwr this year.
I hope you find an alternative that helps you cope better.
Best wishes
