Lillian:
I have insitu ductal carcinoma non-invasive medium to high grade or
stage zero. I have had lumpectmy and radiation for 33 days.
My doctor wants me to take tamoxifen but I am very concerned about the
side effects. So far I have delayed the the decision until more data is
available. I am 58 and still have my uterus
How long should I wait before considering taking tamoxifen?
Am I doing the right thing?????
How long before you started to have the side effects from tamoxifen?
Did you stop taking tamoxifen as a results of the side effects and did
you recover from you reaction? I hope you did
Regards,
Maeve
