Hi all,
This isnt really a lupus drug question, but I'm hoping maybe someone may know of it or someone on it.
My best friend is taking tamoxifen..they found cancer cells in her breast ducts...anyhow, she told me that for the past few days her toenails just began falling off entirely, and the skin on her toes is turning black.
She is hesitant to call her doctor because they get annoyed anytime she calls with a question and the doctor never gets on the phone (he must be related to my doctor) I am trying to get her to seek a second opinion and at the very least get her feet checked out. With four kids under the age of 10, she has been putting off her own medical treatment.
If this were me, I'd be running to the hospital! She seems convinced it must be a side effect of her meds, but Im not so sure.
Anyone ever hear of this? I'd appreciate any input..thank you!!
