@denisedm2026 I know a lot of people is having bad side effects from the tamoxifen. I don’t know why they canceled your mastectomy? I found out over the last few years talking to other women & of course my own situation that the best thing to do is take both breasts off And don’t replace with implants which caused more issues and a different hypo cancer. because cancer comes from there and your ovaries the best thing you can do is get rid of things that make the cancer worse. I think they like to make us sick by giving us bunch of medication they caused the side effects to lead to even more medication’s watching us dwindle away it’s very sad those people line their pockets with money because of people like us desperate to live. if I had listened to my gut and not my surgeon and just had my breast removed, I wouldn’t be in the situation. I’m in now more than likely the cancer would’ve been gone. instead, I listened to her, got a lumpectomy removed seven lymph nodes under my arm. She left me with a positive margin on top of seeding it under my arm from cutting the cancer out and going under my arm where there was no cancer leaving cells so it grew under my arm and spread to my spine.

@mawmaws My mastectomy was canceled because it would not make any difference because the BC metastasized. It’s essentially in my blood, and as my oncologist said “we can’t take your blood out”. I have BC lesions on my spine, iliac crest and a spot on my skull. So it makes no sense to have such a major surgery/amputation. A mastectomy is done to get all the cancer out of your body. It clearly wasn’t going to do that for me. That would be like trying to put out a forest fire with a garden hose.
