Hi all,
I hope someone can help me please and throw some light into a matter. I have just finished chemo therapy as a result of a ER+ HER+ small breast tumor. I am lso on Herceptin now and waiting to start radiotherapy which scares me a lot.
I have been given Tamoxifen and told to take it every day and I dont know what to expect fro taking it, I was told not to take Evening Primrose oil or Start Flower oils as they interfere with the drug.
I do take Cat's Claw, Cordyceps and Reishi mushroom every day and I was told to stop it also. I am looking into taking so B12, B6, Zinc and Selenium Vitamins but I dont know what inteferes and what doesnt with Tamoxifen.
I still take my mushrooms as I havent read anywhere that they produce estrogen in the body but I am confused and dont know what I can or cannot take.
Does anyone have any reliable source of information as to what can be safe to take in term of supplemets please?
Also any info on what to expect from Tamoxifen is helpful please.
Finally any comments on how to deal with radio therapy will be much appreciated as I am terrified by the idea of it and the side effects sound horrendous.
Thanks a million.
Olga
