on my butt, going in to have my blood drawn once a day and fighting with the nasal cannula. The cats think it's great, all 3 of them are piled on me.

clots and tamox and second opinions
Quick thinking and good care got you this far on something that could have been terrible! I'm sorry this happened to you, since you were only doing what you thought was best and what 'they' told you to do. Sending good vibes for your full recovery with no more side effects from the Tamoxifen or the blood thinners! Hang in there and recover well.
Makes me rethink my decision. I see the med onc Monday for a 'check back' appt. Maybe I'll ask him more questions about the statistics. Maybe I should get a second opinion. Has anyone done that on hormone therapy issues? Do the docs just agree with each other on principle, making second opinions a waste of time and money?0 -

Saw this thread and just am hoping that you are doing better Maureen. Tamoxifen and its side effects are scary. Good luck!

It's been 16 days and I'm still on O2 but doing OK. I'm 600 miles from home seeing my kids for the holidays and driving home today. I'm going back to work Monday night with O2 in a backpack. I'm a nurse, I'm out of leave time and I'm losing my mind--I *need* to be back to work and my GP agrees. Work needs me bad enough that they agreed too. I only need the O2 with exertion, I'm fine at rest. Keep your fingers crossed for me!]

My fingers are crossed for you Maureen and I will be hoping all goes well for you back at work. You seem to be taking this all so well...I really admire you. Are you driving 600 miles alone??
Take care and good luck on Monday.0 -

Maureen, I am so sorry you have been having these major problems, but glad to hear that the diagnosis was made quickly, and you are doing well. I know that there are many problems connected to the Tamoxifen, and that is what makes it so hard to follow instructions from your oncologist.....you just never know if you are going to be one of those who are lucky enough to have the extreme se's. Please stay safe, and know we are all interested in your well being in the future. You mentioned you lived in New Mexico....where? I was in Ruidoso for about 8-1/2 years, and loved it there. What a beautiful state. Good luck to you, and hugs sent your way. Take it easy Monday.

Although it might have easier! My husband, my 17 year old and I went to see the other 3 kids and spouses/grandkid/cats/dogs. We just home.

There is snow in Ruidoso--9 inches the news just said. It really hit the south part of the state.

Last night went OK--I work from 1930 to 0800. My back got hot & sweating from the backpack but it worked OK and none of my patients had any comments. My coworkers won't let me overdo--I work with the same people all the time and they are the ones that sent me to the ER. One perk is that I can get my blood drawn while I'm at work in the morning instead of having to make a special trip!
