Hi, I'm 9 months down the line from masectomy and reconstruction. I'm on Tamoxifen.
My last blood checks is showing I have raised liver enzymes and are increasing. My Gp has asked for urgent scan and xrays. I'm a little scared, he said want to make sure we are not missing anything. I've been complaining about feeling unwell from before diagnosis. I have constant nausea and extreme fatigue and lethargy all the time. Pain in my left lower ribs and some in chest ribs and general bone pain. I've never felt well since surgery 9 months ago.
I've read tamoxifen can cause liver problems.Has anyone else had something similar.
I'm feeling overwhelmed right now, thinking the worst, did they miss Mets, or Is it the medication.
Feel like crying, i dont have the energy anymore xx
Hi Snowfairy.
Its so awful when you are not sure whats going on isn't it. It totally makes sense how you are feeling. Please do remember though how our thoughts can drive us crazy at times like this and its usually the worst!!!. Its good that your GP is responding to your symptoms quickly. You'll already know that there can be many reasons for your symptoms. Its good that you are reaching out as the waiting game is exhausting and having some support can lighten the load slightly. I hope you do not have to wait long for the test results and in the mean time as best you can. Take care of yourself.
much love to you
Hi Snowfairy
It's good to hear that you are caring for yourself. It is hard to know where to find support sometimes and we never know for sure if we have chosen right until we take the step. I personally reached out to God because my family were more scared than I was and could not give anything. .this community also was and is a great comfort and support.
Save your energy, cope with one day at a time, do things you enjoy until you feel stronger
Much love to you
