Stopping tamox for surgery
hi all
has anyone stopped tamox to have surgery? and if so for how long? i have my bmsx with TE's coming up Oct 15 and was told i have to stop my tamox 1 wk before by my MO and 2 wks before by my breast surgeon. im nervous about coming off tamox for any period of time since i am 95% er/pr positive but i know there is a risk of clots with tamox. Its a long surgery and i will probably be immobile for a few days thoughts? |
Re: Stopping tamox for surgery
When I had my bmx last year, my doctors told me to carry on taking the tamox. I only missed the day after the operation as I was a bit groggy, but that was all. I was concerned with not taking it also. Hope that helps. Emma

I was told 2-3 weeks prior to surgery

I stopped taking it a week before my reconstruction surgery and started the day after.
