Im so Tired

Hi,

Just a quick run down I am 6 years post diagnosis, had chemo, radiation, hysterectomy and been on tamoxifen for 5.5 years too. I am only 42 and I feel 90 :) I am so tired and I am wondering if its worth asking to come off it as it's really affecting me. Also whats the chances of recurrence if I have had all that done too ? I know you can never say never but Im thinking of a better quality of life ?

Thank you x

  • Hello Kimtaneeka and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear about your past treatment and how you feel taking Tamoxifen is also affecting you.

    Unfortunately no one here can say what you should do but because of the way you are feeling you really ought to talk this through with your doctor.

    Your doctor can assess your symptoms, and possibly run some tests to rule out any other possible reasons for your symptoms. You may also wish to speak with your oncologist to get their view point about stopping the Tamoxifen and how this may affect your risk of recurrence.

    I am sorry we can't be of more help on this occasion. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,

    Naomi
