About Bambi62

Hi, I'm a 56 year old women who was diagnosed in Feb 2011 with stage 4 Breast cancer & then subsequently within weeks secondary bone cancer. I have been taking Tamoxifen for nearly 8 years. Apart from going through all the hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings etc I don't have any sexual feeling anymore. I've been married for 35 years this year & I don't think my husband can handle what he sees as rejection much longer. 2 years ago following a procedure I had to have a hysterectomy too ( abnormal cells, didn't need it so asked them to take it out). I'm thinking of maybe stopping the Tamoxifen to see if I get any feelings back to save my marriage. I know I run the risk of the hormones spreading my cancer further, or do I just lay back & think of England. Don't worry I won't stop without talking to my oncologist. Any help or advice would be very helpful
