Re: Anybody taken tamoxifen after 10years of arimidex?
Hi Becky,
I came off of my AI for 3 weeks after 10 years plus.
I needed a vacation. The past year I have experienced joint pain in my knees. I was not having any issues for 10 years and all of sudden it was like a door slammed shut.
I also had stopped taking some of vit. such as Fish Oil,
Vit D3. So during my 3 week break I went back on my
full routine again.
I felt great rather fast once I stopped the AI which surprised me. It was just about three days and the joint pain was almost all gone.
When I saw my onc. in April he suggested since the news was so good on the ten year trails and I was feeling good to continue.
I see him again in Oct. Becky please share what hear you from your onc.
Good Wishes to all.
Jean
