I finished my radiation therapy a month ago and started Tamoxifen. Immediately I was having all these side effects. Severely lethargic, feeling pain, basically I was a down right zombie. I stopped the Tamoxifen and within the past 2 weeks I have been feeling so much better, energetic and upbeat. I told my doctor I stopped and will be meeting with her next week. I know doctors want you to follow theyre treatment plan but Im the type who is into the quality of life, not the quantity. Does anyone… read more
the drugs and radiation make us sicker and cause damage. It is because of this the treatments can kill us not the cancer. Use alternative treatments that can help prevent the cancer from coming back without damage and side effects. I tell everyone I can that has had cancer read this book Outsmart your cancer buy it online at Barns & Nobel it will make your life so much better. I feel normal again and living life like I did before my cancer.
Every one reacts differently to the drugs. Your oncologist shouldn't decide what side effects you will get. Why I was having chemo I had just about every side effect going, one of the doctors commented that basically they didn't believe me. I told them to walk a mile in my shoes and then they could tell me how I was feeling!!
Yes the side effects are horrendous. My oncologist is going to talk to me about an alternative but I may just go the natural route. A friend of mine in Florida is taking Dim-Pro and has been on it for about 2 years. She has not had any side effects. She swears by it and a doctor actually recommended it for her! Check it out on the web. I already ordered mine. I definitely will run it by my doctor bc of overdosing on too much.
I take Letrozole. the only side effects I have had is occasional achy joints and weight gain. Tylenol or Ibuprofen help the joints. In Nov my 5 yrs is up and I can stop it
I agree with what everyone is saying these drugs do damage and still they can't say the drugs will stop us from getting cancer. The price we pay for using them is not worth it. I use alternative treatments to keep the cancer from coming back and it is working and I live normal now no pain.
