@elizm @francine6829 Both of you I applaud you! I have reactions to pretty much everything as far as meds go! Could not take tamoxifen due to blood clot from birth control pills. So, I have followed the oncologists orders: just had robotic hysterectomy / oophrectomy.
I tried armidex 2 different timex. I was scolded by the oncologist because I did not give it enough time but I had suicidal thought, 36 hour hot flash, and could barely get out of bed due to the aches and pains. Yes, I have osteoporosis but Damn it I was stage 1A and lymph nodes clear, marginal tissue clear. I will try aromasin soon and start at every other day.
I am trying but we all have to decide what quality of life we want!
Every appt. my oncologist changes percentage of recurrence. I am sick of it!
Again I did lumpectomy, 20 sessions of radiation, had a hysterectomy and trying the Damn AI . I am going for a second opinion and I know my body and its reactions. I am 64 and have 4 grandsons and love the outdoors I am not going to be a couch grandma.
Remember you know how you feel!
