I had stage I breast cancer, had mastectomy bill. in may 2011. I am 46 years old and I got Nolvadex for 5 years.
After 4 days I got allergy reaction - rash, itchy skin and eyes... It did not stop after 2 weeks, so doctor switched therapy to Arimidex. I was better for 3 days, 4th day started the same allergy. Is there any other therapy, I can try?
If I decide to remove ovaries, will I still have to take any drugs for 5 years or not?
Got alergy reaction after Nolvadex and Arimidex. Is there anything else, I can try?
