Hi
i had a lumpectomy February followed by 5 doses of radiotherapy in May finishing on 23 May, have been taking tamoxifen since 26 April.
Felt increasingly unwell last week but put down to radiotherapy side effects and tamoxifen change of brand. Sunday evening hubby noticed I felt very hot and had temp of 39.5.
Sunday evening called 111 and agreed to see GP Monday, bloods done Tuesday but still not sure what going on, GP still trying to sort and get back to me.
breast nurses advised stopping tamoxifen for a week, so stopped that yesterday.
anyone had a similar experience?
getting fed up of feeling ill and just want to feel better now
keep fighting all xxx
