Raspberries Instead Of (Top voted first)

Updated

I had a breast removed 5years ago. Because I had infection the oncologist told me they could not guarantee chemo would work since it was 5 wks since surgery. I asked if he could guarantee it anyway. No answer. I started eating 1 cup raspberries a day as I had heard they were as good as tomoxafin, and felt they could not hurt me. When my infection cleared after many months I had no Cancer signs in my blood work and I refused chemo. They put me on arimidex for five years. I have no energy, muscle pain in my legs, I can only walk a short distance and standing any length of time is exhausting. I had bouts of depression and crying. All in all I was not happy with the meds. I just finished my 5 yr and hope the symptoms disappear.

I just started tamoxifen almost 4 week ago, I feel so tired, I all ready have depression issues, I am terrified of the drug. I already had breast cancer twice(not genetic). 2008 r breast, chemo, radiation, infusion of herceptin. 2014 left breast cancer, radiation, now tamoxifen. I'm having trouble working because I have no energy. I'm afraid of getting uterine or cervical cancer whichever it is, because I am 56. Any suggestions? I want to stop taking it,my cancers were microcalcificatins not tumors. One was stage 1,grade 3, second was stage 0, grade 3.I also started getting a rash on my back. I don't know if it's related also pressure on my chest. I've already told doctor day 2 about how I feel of course he says keep taking it.

I am sorry about what both of you are going through and I hope all goes well.

Those are pretty typical side effects for most cancer treatment medications, as listed by the FDA. They can make you pretty miserable and may also cause weight loss, hair loss and hormonal imbalances.

However, it is best to follow your doctor's instructions for the best possible outcome for you.

Are there any other questions or concerns?
