Tamoxifun
Over the holiday I started taking tamoxifen again. The first few days were fine but now almost two weeks in I'm experiencing the same problems with fatigue that I battled the first time around. The medicine the doctor gave me to help with the side effects isn't, at all. On one hand, I want to take this medicine because it's my best chance for preventing a recurrence and I feel like I'm actually doing something to fight this disease every night when I take my pill. But on the other hand, who wants to feel like crap all of the time? I've started packing a soda with my lunch so I can get the extra caffeine boost in the afternoons, but I don't want to be dependent on that. If only Jackson understood what some of us would give to take multiple naps everyday, maybe he wouldn't fight it so hard. I go back to the doctor in a little over a month, hopefully he'll have another idea for fighting the fatigue. Until then, bring on the naps and caffeine!
