Thanks for your response 🙏 . I also have nerve damage, Ulna Nerve, causing numbness and loss of sensation in my hand , little and ring fingers.
I find it all very disappointing as I was told by radio onc. it is very precise and will only focus on the cancer in my skin and would not affect my lung. Also some of my nails,3, became “dead” flaking, buckling and breaking. They are now, nearly a year later almost back to normal.
I am very concerned about starting on AI as the side effects seem so bad. I think I am leaning towards Tamoxifen as they say it doesn’t affect osteoporosis??? So difficult to make these decisions. I also have a husband with dementia who is worse than no help😱. Sorry about the complaints, I am having a bad day! Wishing you all the best🙏🙏

But tamoflin does put estrogen in your uterus and for me that could be dangerous. Since it’s mainly for pre menopausal women now.
I am 75 had endometriosis and I am a DES daughter. I was told for me this risk might be worse than the benefit. Because I already had precancerous cells on cervix when I was younger cause by
meds my mom took to prevent misscarriages. I also have osteoarthritis vpcaused from long term prednisone.
Main risk for tamoxifen is uterine cancer and clots

Ho
I have ulnar nerve damage . I had laser treatments for a yr and it healed. That was by my chiropractor that was 20 yes ago
