I have had breast cancer. I am on Tamoxifen. I have been on Tamoxifen for 2 years now. I find that I too have painful breasts, they feel like they have a fever in them. I am going to the doctor Monday. I could have an infection in my breasts. My doctor says that my body maybe reacting to having too much estrogen surpressant in my system. If this is the case they would have to stop the Tamoxifen and monitor me for any future cancer. I would go to the doctor to get checked. It couldn't hurt. Let me know how you make out. Good Luck and God speed. I too am 48 yrs old. I have had breast cancer. I am on Tamoxifen.

I want to cancel & wait anouther 5 years but i dont want to risk developing cancer & dying. My older sister Pauline didnt know she was a gene carrier & died of Ovarian cancer 2 years ago after a 4 year battle. What if i have them out & there clean i will be so cross. I have heard all the stories from other BRCA1 people who have had both there ovaries & both breasts removed & they say there fine, but i dont believe them. i am very much alone, single, i hate my other sister who doesnt carry the gene but should because shes fat & unhealthy & has never looked after herself. my brother has it too & he has kids so his children may have it. I just feel shit. Time is getting closer to March 11th & i just want to cancel, but then i dont. i am 45, i have no kids am relatively healthy, excercise regularly, eat nutriciously, try not to stress, drink to be happy occassionaly & have recently found out that i’m a carrier of the mutant gene BRCA1, i have requested an operation on the 11th of March to have my ovaries removed, but i am so scared & so angry & worried about how i will be after the opperation.
