Tamoxifen question
I have been on Tamoxifen for 1 year. Started it after chemo and rads and Herceptin. I really hate it. Not to be a pain in the butt, BUT, the side effects are driving me nuts. Has anyone stopped it? I have asked my onco. many times why he does not switch me to AI since I am through menopause now due to the chemo. I am 44 now and the last 2 hormone test show I am post menopause. He wants me to stay on another year then switch.
Maybe I am just sick of this all. I have not taken my tamoxifen for 3 days now. I was planning on taking a break for about 6 weeks. (with out my onocologist's knowledge) Have I completely lost my mind? With all of the "new" info coming out that tamoxifen may feed her2 I am scared to death. Any advice??? Help.......
