How do you decide which side effects you're willing to put up with to possibly get rid of other side effects? I've been taking a second drug with my tamoxifen now for a month which is supposed to help with the oppressive fatigue. Let's pretend for a minute that it did indeed help. Would it be worth a complete loss of appetite, vividly bizarre dreams that seem to wake me up all night, and couple of other fun things that I won't share? I'm enjoying the weight loss that goes along with the lack of appetite, but I'm pretty sure this can't be healthy. I'm considering having my port reinserted for the sole purpose of daily caffeine infusions. It'd be much more efficient. I've got about three more weeks before I go back to the oncologist for my check up and we re-evaluate, again, the tamoxifen. Believe me, I understand how important this drug is to my survival; it might in fact be more important than my chemo and radiation. But at what point do you take your chances with the cancer and enjoy life without the side effects?
