I have AML (2 & 1/2 years). Was also diagnosed with Breast cancer little over a year ago & had surgery and radiation. Cannot have chemo bc already taking for AML. Doc wants me on Tamoxifen to keep it settling in the bones which causes a long horrible drawn-out death. Does estrogen seeking breast cancer tend to settle in the bones? More often that any other place?
Thanks,
Margaret Quin aka Margaret9

What can be noted is that managing multiple conditions alongside AML requires careful consideration of treatment interactions. Your medical team is taking an appropriate approach by considering your AML treatment when making decisions about other treatments. If you're experiencing bone pain or other new symptoms, it's important to report these to your healthcare team immediately. They can properly evaluate any changes and adjust your treatment plan accordingly. Your doctors are balancing multiple factors in your care, and they can best explain the reasoning behind their treatment recommendations based on your specific situation.
