I am going to assume the last questions here are for me. Either way, I will answer 😂.
It would be pretty hard to distinguish the side effects from the oopherectomy and the tamoxifen. I instantly started with the hot flashes and the night sweats. That are definitely less but still there today. I do believe I have aged considerably faster than my peers. I did get a little joint stiffness and pain with Anastrazole but walking really helped.
I do not regret this decision, even for a minute. I know this is a tough decision, there are future considerations, but they will be the same with endocrine therapy only.
Do you have family or a life partner to talk about this?
