After Zoladex but still on tamoxifen?????
I'm curious to hear from any women who have been on the Zoladex/ tamoxifen combo and have completed the Zoladex and remained on tamoxifen. Did you notice any difference? Did you find the combo ok or ...

Hello Peartree...I am responding to your comments from 8 March and not sure if you had others respond or not as I can't see anything showing. I am on a combo of the Zolodex implant each month plus Femera as opposed to Tamoxifen which I was unable to take due to other health issues. Thank goodness I have not experienced the nausea like you! I have been told that I will be on the implant for 12-18 months (so far been on it 12 months) but the Femera for at least 5 years plus, possibly 10 or indefinitely. I find hot flushes and disturbed sleep the two main side effects that I have, along with terrible aching bones!! Some mornings I can hardly put my feet to the floor. I hope it is not doing too much damage to my bones and will eventually have another bone density scan to see what is occuring. The aching bones only started about 6 months into the medications but the hot flushes and disturbed sleep pretty well right from the start. And I think fatigue is very common with the medication and I also often have trouble "thinking"! Jan
