Thanks for your reply Sailor. Yep spoke to Onc, who had stopped the treatment for 3 months to allow me to recover enough from chemo n rads so I can restart Tamox. at a reduced dose. Unfortuneatly i am one of THOSE people on whom drugs work extremely well, have had issues with both chemo drugs also. Silly me to think I could take this one without any effects.

Hit rock bottom this week, now on antidepressants n trashed all over again. I truly wonder if this is ever going to end. Mitch ... View more
