Scan last week showed progression
Last Wednesday I had a scan, the day before Thanksgiving. I have been on ibrance now for about eight or nine Cycles. I saw the results online, there is a little progression in the abdomen and a little bit in the chest or breast area. I will see the doctor tomorrow to discuss results. My scan also showed

Tamoxifen & alternate supplements
Hi all, I’m recently finding it extremely difficult to fall asleep at night. I’ve tried baths, essential oils to calm me, meditation etc no matter how tired I am I just don’t fall asleep and it’s so frustrating. As I lay there my mind just wanders too and it stresses me out and makes me sad. I recently

Severe mood swings/ low mood and tamoxifen
I've been on tamoxifen now for 2 years and while physically I seem ok, the impact on my mood is horrendous. It's not all the time, but I notice massive fluctuations and a feeling of weariness, despair and a loss of drive and confidence. I don't know if I'm going a bit mad or this is to do with the drugs

Med Side Effects & Tumor Markers
Well, I saw my Oncologist's Assistant today and explained that taking the Ibrance 75 mg and Tamoxifen 10 mg every other day wasn't working for me and I had only taken half of my dosage for the month. She informed me that I was supposed to be taking it every day! Say what?! Never heard that! And she

Now What?
My 75 mg Ibrance and 10 mg Tamoxifen took about 2 weeks to hit hard. I was doing great the first week, thrilled that I seemed to be handling the lower dosage. Then Bam! The joint aches and exhaustion hit and I finally stopped all meds to regroup. I'll try it again and pray it works, see what my next

Apixaban and tamoxifen ( and by chance spotted amiodarone on list)
Have just started tamoxifen tonight after breast cancer and know it can cause DVTs etc occasionally. Oncologist felt as I am apixaban it would not be an issue. The data sheet suggests if you are taking warfarin or similar it is not ideal but big cheese aware . Being of a nosey disposition, after a Google

Tamoxifen
I have been on Letrizole for over a year and just can't tolerate the side effects any longer Extreme weakness, fatigue, and dizziness to name a few. My onc wants to change my medication to Tamoxifen even though she feels Letrizole is the better choice. Have any of you gone from Letrizole to Tamoxifen

So I finished chemo almost 2 weeks ago, have to see my oncologist next week to discuss what happens next. I have an idea of course: tamoxifen.

Update: Experience with Estradiol patches for ADT
I have had in the past (2012) what I consider to be quite terrible side effects from ADT with LHRHa (Eligard similar to Lupron). So recently when I needed to start short-term ADT as adjuvant to pelvic lymph node radiation (IMRT with boost to nodes) I chose to try Estradiol patches. Now 7 weeks in and

Tamoxifen producing painful windy stomach?
Am new here. Has anybody had similar indigestion whilst taking tamoxifen.?.. Suffered cancer in breast, lumpectomy, and lymph node clearance a year later Taking tamoxifen for a month, changed over after a year of Letrozol as I kept looking at the alendronic acid and not taking it, and already had osteoporosis

Daily Casodex 50mg and Tamoxifen 10mg - Amazing results in 40 days.
My urologist called yesterday with results of latest PSA and Axumin Scan. PSA fell from 65.7 to 1.7 after starting 50mg Casodex along with 10mg Tamoxifen. The scan showed the tumor next to the wall of the rectum had decreased from 5.4 SUV TO 3.5 SUV and showed no new occurrences of cancer. I was diagnosed
