Refusing tamoxifen
hi friends i am off to see my doc tomorrow to discuss tamoxifen. I am NOT KEEN. I am already suffering hot flashes and vaginal atrophy and muscle aches and no periods for nearly a year thanks ...
I am sticking with Tamoxifen even though I am just post menopause. It is the lesser of the two evils in bone degradation and since my dad has metastasized bone cancer, I might need all the help I can get with Tamoxifen not being so hard on bones. I no longer entertain statistics since it was a 12% chance of getting breast cancer and a 0.46% chance of getting Tinnitus while on Tamoxifen and I scored both.
