    Welcome Mauve...
    So sorry to hear about your leukemia. I am a little confused though. You said that you are 3 years out from your BC. Where is your Medical Oncologist you had for your BC? It sounds as if this is not the same Oncologist. I will be with mine for the rest of my life. And if this is a new Oncologist, you absolutely need to have your records transfered so they know what treatments you had and your history!! And I have never heard of an Oncologist not knowing about Tamoxifen unless it was not having chemo that he was taken aback about.
    I would possibly consider another opinion. Can you go back to your original Oncologist you had for your BC? I wish I could be of more help. :) Pammy

    Welcome Mauve, but, so sorry
    Welcome Mauve, but, so sorry for the reason. Just want to say that I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Please post again.

    Hugs, Diane

    I am so sorry that you have a 2nd cancer. Damn the beast. I do not have a second one, but I am appaled by your Onc. not giving you all the info on tamoxifen and chemo. I would seek out a second opinion and talk to another onc. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I'm glad you found us here.
    hugs, jackie

    no radiation, no chemo for breast cancer
    never had chemo nor radiation, i had only mastectomy and lumpectomy then tamoxifen which i'm supposed to take for 5 years, i'm still wondering and a lot of questions right now, however, there's really nothing else i could do but just keep on fighting and go with the flow, thank you and god bless

    I was wondering Mauve why
    I was wondering Mauve why you didn't have at least radiation treatments? Would you mind answering? Is it because you had a mastectomy? Hope you are feeling better!

    Hugs,Susie

    I am sorry Mauve that you have a 2nd cancer. I do know what it feels like, as, I have been diagnosed twice with breast cancer. I had a lumpectomy both times, followed by rad treatments. I am not going to take tamoxifen, as, I don't want to even deal with the side effects. But, it sounds like you might need a 2nd opinion. Your oncologist should always discuss anything with you openly and with no restraints. I will certainly be praying for you. Please let us know what you find out and how you are doing!
