Any ideas ?? ... Tamoxifen drives me crazy
Hello lovely ladies ! I'm on Tamoxifen for 7 month now. In the beginning everything, except of the hot flushes, was ok. Now my body starts to ache on every 'corner' ... shoulders, fingers, feet, hi...

Well, saw my onc a couple of weeks ago and with his approval I am now off the Tamoxifen - at least for 6 months. This is as a result of my last 2 blood tests showing my platelets have bombed! Got sent for another blood test just in case there was an error with the first, but same result. So now I am seeing a haematologist too - to find out why! Had another blood test last week and see the haemo on Thursday, and given that I stopped Tamox a couple of weeks ago he seemed to think that if the platelets have begun to climb back it will be an indication that the tamox is to blame. Oh dear, nothing is simple anymore is it? Just another side effect that they don't tell you about. Anyway, on the up side since stopping tamox I am already beginning to feel more like the old me, and even my husband says he notices the difference already - so that at least is a plus. Will await the results of the huge batch of blood tests I had done last week, and the CT scan (and I know what that's looking for) that I have Thursday morning before seeing the haemo guy, and decide whether to laugh or cry depending on the outcome! Life is so exciting isn't it! All my best to you all - just keep smiling.
