Hi I am on tamoxifen and I have got to stop taking
them this Thursday ready for my surgery to remove
my ovaries on 5th September, has anyone else had
to do the same, and did you have any side effects.
many thanks
Hi, I recently had surgery to exchange a temporary expander implant for a permanent one and had to stop tamoxifen for a couple of weeks before and after surgery, I didn't notice any difference between taking it and not taking it....
Hope all goes well with your surgery.
Best wishes
