Hi
I feel your pain regarding just trying to do normal things and having pain it's very frustrating. As far as the fatigue goes I think the tamoxifen maybe your problem I did not take any of those drugs because of the horrendous side effects plus my cancer was stage 0. Perhaps you should have a discussion with your doctor regarding the medication they can change you to a different drug that may not do that to you from what I've heard

Thank you! It could be it's the Tamoxifen. I can't take the Aromatase Inhibitors like most post menopausal patients do because of my osteoporosis. Tamoxifen actually helps with bone building if you are past menopause while the AI drugs can cause bone loss.
My Mayo provider mentioned that sometimes a 2 week drug holiday can reset things in your body and then when you start again the side effects may be a lot better. I should pursue that. Thanks again❤️
