Then the hot flashes and night sweats!! I know exactly how you feel. Im only 37 and i hope to god i dont have this for years!!
Take care

Hi,
I've been on it for 2 weeks... I am not sleeping but that could be from the tissue expanders. I am feeling something different in my legs...
Laura.. Can I ask? Did your drs. recommend a hysterctomy? I am concerned about the effects of the tamoxifen and I have a list of new things to be paranoid about. Don't get me started...
Thanks,0 -

Thanks,
Sally, I'm getting a oophorectomy (uterus and ovaries) soon, mainly because my bc is estrogen-driven and likely is hereditary, making ovarian cancer a risk. I'll start Tamoxifen after surgery and I'm glad to not worry after its possible effects on uterus, too.0 -
I opted not to do anything more after chemoPinkpower said:I agree with Laura, no you
I agree with Laura, no you are not nuts, if you were then we are all nuts, cause we all are going thru the same things. Also I'm with Sally on being paranoid and very afraid of the Tamoxifen side of effects.
I had mastectomy and 4 rounds of chemo. Tested as a poor metabolizer of tamoxifen, a second onconogist advised me to have ovaries out and go on arimidex. After doing some research and finding out that taking your ovaries out can cause osteoporosis and heart problems and then all of the side effects of the arimidex with leg cramps among other things, I decided that since my bc was stage 1 and no nodes nor family history that I chose not to do anymore. My quality of life is a priority. If I was stage 3 or 4 then I probably would do whatever they told me but I feel I have choices being stage 1. I have though drastically changed my diet to vegetables and fruit mainly and no dairy or sugar. I feel fantastic and have lost 11 pounds! Be blessed and do what your heart tells you.

You don't enjoy alternating between rage and despair and having no control over how you feel or react????
Neither do I:)
