Hi All,
Does anyone have experience of getting used to Tamoxifen while on another treatment too?
I started Tamoxiden 2 months ago after having 1B breast cancer. I'm finished all my surgeries and radiotheraphy. When I started Tamoxifen, was already taking Targeted TKI Therapy (Dabrafenib/Trametanib) for 3A skin melanoma that causes me fatigue and headaches. I avoid activity that raises my heart rate but go for short walks and do yoga once a week.
Now, I feel tired - almost sedated most of the time. Is this the Tamoxifen on top of the Targeted Therapy? I also feel wierd sometimes - bits of insomnia, sad mood, feeling like 'Just everyone go away! I'm too tired for you!' (Literally, there is no-one on my case so this doesn't make sense.)
Is this what Tamoxifen is like all the time? I've another 4 years 10 months to go! Luckily, I only have another 3 months of the Targeted Therapy. I just wondered if anyone else out there was having a double whammy of Tamoxifen + something else. Do I just have to wait - to quote Phil Collins? Will the Tamoxifen sedation wear off?
Many thanks,
Dots
