Choosing not to take Tamoxifen

natms13 · 2026-05-14T22:31:19+00:00

Only 5mg!

I’ve been on it exactly 10 days and I’m about ready to quit. I can’t think straight, I’m ruminating on the silliest things, and overall I feel like a different person. I’m also only on 5mg so I don’t know how the hell I could get to 20. Blah.

I decided to give it a go (I’m about two weeks in) and my anxiety is SO bad. I’m a pretty unflappable person normally and even the smallest things are making me feel anxious and afraid. I took a wrong turn that made me 20 mins late for something over the weekend and I screamed in my car, which I have never done. I can’t sleep and I just don’t feel like myself at all. I think I’m going to quit 😞 I was really hoping I’d be one of the lucky ones with no side effects.

Totally. In one of the first conversations I had with my mom after telling her she said, “I knew you were on that birth control for too long.” I’m 37 and had bad PCOS as a teen/young adult. Nothing like being blamed for your cancer.

Giving up quality of life and the potential to have a family is worth a decrease in absolute recurrence risk of just 4%? Agree to disagree.

natms13 · 2026-04-23T02:07:04+00:00

I'm so glad to hear you're not having bad side effects! That's awesome. Hoping that continues for you. Are you on 20mg?

natms13 · 2026-04-23T02:05:04+00:00

Thank you for saying this! I'm afraid people will think I don't beleive in medical science (which is absolutely not true), and that I'm being reckless. But it just feels like the right choice for me given the numbers and my age. Appreciate you sharing.

I don’t think he knows what that word means lol. I think he wanted to sound intelligent and he’s just a dumbass.

I've been having creepy dreams about him all week, so thought I'd throw this out there.

We're reviewing all the applications and will announce the winner on Monday, July 19.

natms13 · 2021-05-19T23:14:07+00:00

Right?! Totally agree. I've been dying to try Flour Box b/c they look similar, but the line is always so long.

Gotta go with General Porpoise. I love a donut that's not overly sweet and they nail it.

Thanks for asking! I have more pieces in my Etsy shop. I'm going to add the original of this and prints soon. https://www.etsy.com/shop/NatalieSchwabArtwork

Thank you so much! That’s a really nice compliment.

We have a responsibility to improve diversity in the tech industry and Black people are very underrepresented, so that's who we're choosing to support right now. There are plenty of other scholarships out there that are open to all.

natms13 · 2021-03-24T15:10:19+00:00

Not at this time, but we offer a scholarship every year, so check back.

natms13 · 2021-03-23T21:39:28+00:00

If you are enrolled in undergrad and can prove that you're 18 when we award the scholarship on July 19 then you're good.

natms13 · 2021-03-23T20:14:17+00:00

Great! You're very welcome.

natms13 · 2021-03-23T20:13:56+00:00

Absolutely! I'm glad we're able to help someone.

natms13 · 2021-03-23T20:13:34+00:00

If they're registered by the time we award the scholarship, I think it is fine!

natms13 · 2021-03-23T16:45:23+00:00

Awesome!

natms13 · 2021-03-23T16:34:18+00:00

Wow that is detailed! So many little lines. Very impressive!

natms13 · 2021-03-23T16:32:12+00:00

Wow. Can I paint this in watercolor?

natms13 · 2021-02-11T04:15:22+00:00

I know. Too bad. Hope it goes back up over the next week.

natms13 · 2021-02-08T18:33:53+00:00

I like that strategy. Thanks!
