Don’t know Now has given me a referral to radiology After I had stopped Tamoxifen I started the Tamoxifen 5mg a day and a different manufacturer this week after stopping it for 3 months due to side effects
See how it goes Does Raloxifene cause swelling to
I know I keep saying how old I’am I was diagnosed this year at 80 and turned 81 in April Wonder how much an older body can take
😊👍🙏
Surgeon said after surgery She wouldn’t do radiation just take a little pill once a day Like taking a stick of dynamite I think I was so surprised and unprepared not even thinking about breast cancer My mammograms had been fine Later I heard the usually they stop doing mammograms after she 75 Now that too late probably for radiation since I have stopped taking Tamoxifen for 3 months .Oncologist said we thought you could take an estrogen blocker Seemed surprised that I said so many people had bad and many S/E’s from drug and stopped Maybe should have radiology evaluation just in case
Don’t know the percentage of women who stop drug but many I think and a lot of women are able to tolerate it
He said drug is out of your system in 2weeks took me 3 months before finally felt better Still having hot flashes but not as many and difficulty sleeping which was never a problem for me
