Taking a Lower Dose of Tamoxifen?

Yes, I know you take tamoxifen. I compare mine to yours because they are both anti-hormone. I have some taxmoxifen. I took it during my chemo and I think it made my legs swell. I've had good doctors and attention to my care. I am satisfied in that respect. i just am afraid of this anti hormone drug and don't want to take it unless it shows great improvements against the cancer returning, and I don't think it does. My husband belonged to an in person Parkinson's support group. They were great people, but I, the caregiver, actually got more from the online group we joined.

Talk to my surgeon today, asking for possibility to change oncologist, because he isn’t responding. I don’t know how can I switch. At the same time, I keep digging for answers to my questions about quantity of the med, it interaction with other med, immunotherapy and target therapy based on the past and ongoing trials
When I get to my oncologist will try to bring to his attention all of this .
It is many around so call private “ORG” offering cancer treatment by private oncologist
Either it’s scam, or money laundering.GOT LOST !

@raebaby I feel the same as you , I don’t want to take my anastrazole if it isn’t working. Unfortunately, for me when I asked my oncologist‘how do you know it is working, when you do not even have a baseline of my estrogen level’ His reply was We Just Take It For Granted. This is not the answer a doctor should give a patient. At least not in my book. I changed oncologists, took a blood test for estrogen and also a saliva test. Both tests showed that my estrogen is low ,,, so I guess therefore it is working. My new oncologist did explain things to me , so that was helpful. We have to stand up for ourselves. Glad you gave good drs.
