I'm also pretty sure that my Onc, Dr W, now dreads havin to deal with me after the way the last appointment went. But in that last appointment he made "an executive decision" to have me stop the Tamoxifen for 30 days & then check back in with him. So I did, & Dr W, through his nurse B, said it was OK for me to stop the Tamoxifen permanently. I realize that it will probably take a bit longer for all the Tamoxifen to get out of my system, but I can definitely tell I'm more my old self lately.
Can ya tell we love Halloween? YAY!

I took it for the entire five years and was a crazy person for most of the time. I wasn't paranoid but I don't think I slept for 5 years. LOL I was either painting houses, tending bar or hanging in the bar. But I don't know that I had any physical issues. It messed with my brain I think. Or it was just the fact that I had cancer and nobody seemed to care. I can remember when my Dr. said it was okay to take some hormones, I think that was after 7 years. So I did and I cried all the time and was so insecure and paranoid that I had to quit. I thought that was weird. Tried again a few years later and same thing happened. So I gave up that idea.
Hi Paula! Yeah, I'm kinda pissed off that I couldn't complete the 5 years, but these last several months have been terrible. I was doin much better livin the "new normal" a year ago...just kept gettin worse & worse. And I think my Onc would like me to find someone else. The last appt was just awful. He prob has to take Xanax when he sees me on his book. Thanks so much for readin & commenting. xx
