hi all, I have got to have my ovaries removed this 

Thursday, because mine was oestrogen based,

has anybody had to stop taking there tamoxifen 

before surgery, and how did you feel, no periods 

since march 2018. 

Many thanks

  • Hi I'm afraid I can't answer your question about stopping tamoxifen before having surgery.

    I did just want to ask Why are you having your ovaries removed?  Lots of ladies have hormone fed cancer and just take the Tamoxifen! 

    In fact some ladies on here have requested surgery and been declined.

    Good Luck wih your surgery,  hope all goes well. Sal xx

    Hi Sal

    the two options was injections every month for

    six months, then after every three months,every

    body I have spoken to say I am doing the right

    thing, I was not offered any other choice at all.

    many thanks
