3_mastectomies

Hi everyone.
I have had 3 mastectomies in 3 years and they don't seem to know what to do with me just yet. Next week maybe. the discussion is radiotherapy - chemo or just tamoxifin.
My first mastectomy was in 2010 and I had a skin preserving reconstruction. The cancer came back in the reconstructed breast so I opted to have both off this time.
After the first mastectomy I was given Arimidex but after only 6 weeks I has such acute insomnia and chronic fatigue I stopped taking it. I am worried that Tamoxifin will have the same effect and make it worse as I have suffered from severe insomnia ever since.
Has anyone else had this experience?
