Shall I ? Shan't I ?
When with my Oncologist last Friday we (specialist, husband and I) all agreed that I would not proceed with further treatment (i.e. Tamoxifen) due to side-effects and other medical conditions. Big brave me said that I would deal with whatever happens, if it happens, and have the same surgeon chop 'leftie' off .........
Now, 4 days later the Breast Care Nurse says "Oh, but what if you get more cancer ? You might regret not taking it !".
NOW I AM CONFUSED ABOUT MY DECISION !
Is it worth taking Tamoxifen for up to 3 months, seeing what side effects happen and then go off it if needs be ?
I don't really want to go back to the menopausal symptoms (which I have finally finished) but I am afraid of other side effects such as blood clots, cataracts, etc.
Has anyone any ideas how I can come to terms (or not) with the decision of 4 days ago ?
Hope all are having a good day with good weather, good health and happy times.
Summer :-)
