Hi ladies,
I was diagnosed with Breast cancer last May and since then have had a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiotherpy.
As I was pre-menopausal the plan for me was to start a 5 year course of Tamoxifen when the chemo finished, but unfortunatley I devolped a PE about a week after I completed my chemotherapy.
I started takingTamoxifen in January which I know can cause PE, but as I am also on the blood thining tablet warfarin for my PE, the haematologist was quite happy for me to continue as was I.
My problem is the PE has now cleared up and my oncologist wants to take me off the Wafrain and change me to Zoldex injections for 2 - 3 years with the addition of arimadex.
I know that Arimadex only works in post menopausal women which is what the Zolodex is meant to do (force me into the menopause)
I know there is no guarantees, but I am quite happy to stay on the warfarin with the tamoxifen for the next three to five years and continue to have my bloods checked regulary as I have done up to now.
Is there any women who found themself in the same situation, and therefore have or are curently on warfarin and Tamoxifen together who can help your comment would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all and take good care of yourselves
