Well In the past two years I went thu 24 rounds of chemo, 30 radiations and two major surgeries I bought great bands and maintained a lean body ( i refused the steroids & Benadryl they give you with chemo ) I fasted on chemo days ate lite day before and day after and did great, the first 12 rounds cause hair loss but I used the cold cap system and didn’t loose any. Thank God , the last 14 rounds didn’t cause hair loss but I started to feel majorly tired then towards the end I noticed I was feeling depressed , achy ,no energy gaining weight and I assumed the treatments had caught up with me and I would feel better when it was over but no I felt WORSE Tamoxifen starter in March. Chemo ended 6/16. So after months of severe fatigue , achy body everywhere, weight gain, depression , I looked pregnant. Dr finally took me
Off 10/13. I still feel awful and waiting for it to reverse itself. We are going to try Arimidex in January (just had my final reconstruction surgery yesterday YAY!!!!!!). Sorry about the long story but it’s to confirm it was tamoxifen that caused All
This

I have no doubt that you were having side effects from Tamoxifen. I just pray that AI goes better for you. There will be changes but hopeful not misery.
