Friday he called me, only an hour after my phone appointment. He said he still didn't have any detailed info because he has to write a letter to my insurance to get a tumor more than a year old re-tested. He said to go off of Tamoxifen for two weeks, and that in two weeks he would let me know if I should remain off of it, or get back on. He said there was no harm in taking a "little break."
Well, two weeks went by and of course I called to follow up because you know he wasn't going to call me. I left a message about it, and his secretary called me back to let me know I can remain off of it. I asked for a more detailed explanation, but she said she didn't have one.
I guess I should be happy I no longer have to take a daily dose of poison. However, I am still uncertain why the official decision was made to take me off of it. I am also unsure as to why I was was ever put on it in the first place, thanks to Dr. Kapoor planting that in my mind. Oh well, no more tamoxifen it is! I'm not gonna argue! I was officially on it from 10/5/2011-1/31/2014. That's 2 years and 4 months. Hope that was enough!
Next follow up is scheduled in 3 months- April 30th.
