Tamoxifen

My second opinion ophthalmologist called me yesterday.  She said that she had reviewed the tests from the other ophthalmologist and wants me to stop the Tamoxifen immediately.  I informed her that I had already stopped it 1 1/2 weeks ago.  She wants me to come back for an eye recheck in 2-4 months and not 4-6 weeks.  So, we are now looking for a recheck date of January.

The Tamoxifen side affects are manageable.  I have a bad headache, stomach ache and seem to be thirsty all the time.  Hopefully, these will reduce as I am off the medication  longer.
