I had a lumpectomy done. Mine was detected in the initial stages. I did not have to undergo Chemotherapy but had 33 radiations and I am on Nolvadex 10 mg twice a day. I feel that my nails keep breaking easily. Its been 1 1/2 yrs now. I feel otherwise great and fit. I do Yoga for 1 hr and very active. Of course there are times I tire quickly too.. I have not been doing yoga since 2 months. I have started taking honey with my tea since 2 weeks if feel I am not gaining weight now. Is honey OK to take..?

Hi Husna, thanks for sharing your story. It's good to see you do Yoga and are active.

Yes, honey is fine. There is no reason it will cause any problem, go ahead.

As for the nails, I do not think it is related to Tamoxifen or any medications.

Hi Husna

I had brittle nails n later discovered that I had a vitamin D deficiency.

Check your D3 level with a simple blood test.

If there is a deficiency contact Yr GP n ask him for advice.

Yoga is very essential to be supple especially after the lumpectomy.

All the best
