@auntieoakley I had cancer surgery and chemo in 2023. Did not start Tamoxifen immediately, spent 2024 recovering from muscle loss, stamina. Started Tamoxifen 1 yr later at 20 mg. Now switched to 10mg.
Other male breast cancer survivor shared when started Tamoxifen immediately after chemo, the experience is terrible. I delayed and my oncology approved.
I am also diabetic and take mounjaro, the side effects with all meds has been tough to manage but doable. Mayo suggested getting a therapist. Sometimes I wanted to quit meds so emotional support helps.
