Hi,

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in February and had a lumpectomy and lympnodes removed. After radiotherapy I was put on Tamoxine. This gave me a lot of side effects. Fatigue, hot flushes, but worse of joint and muscle pain. It was terrible, I got to the stage I could hardly move and sleep was really disturbed. I tried to stay on them because the nurse told me these we the best for me, but after 3 months I told the onocoligist and he said to stop them staright away, wait for a month a start my new tablets Exemestane 25mg. I have been on these for a month and again my joints and muscles are so painful. I cant go through another 2 months before I say something. I am going to stop taking them tomorrow. I am thinking of not taking any as after reading about survival rates is 5yrs. I am looking at quality of life.  I am 62. What should I do???
