My oncologist is out of the country, and when seeing a onc doctor in her place, I was taken off navelbien because I was not responding and my CA-125 had jumped to 199.
He prescribed tamoxifen ( 20 gms.) taken daily until my next appt. with my regular oncologist (Nov. 17th).
After reading the possible side affects, stroke and cataracs to name a few, I am reluctant to take it.
I have been on various chemos. for three and a half years and have tolerated them well.
My question is do you think that I am making a mistake by not taking tamoifen? I have a catarac on my left eye that really needs surgery and my platlets are high.
Please excuse any spelling errors, and thank you for any imput that you can give me.
