Tamoxifen - side effects
Hello, my name is Nancy. I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer 2.5 years ago for Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, Stage 1b with 2 tumors. I underwent a mastectomy on the right side (really wanted a total, but my surgeon refused). I am 63 and definately post-menopausal. They prescribed Tamoxifen as I could

Night Sweats & Hot Flashes relief
Taking Tamoxifen since October 2017 now and increasing having the hot flashes and night sweats. Split my dose to 10 mg tab morning and 10mg night and that has maybe helped some. Taking fish oil, flaxseed oil, calcium and D3,plus multi vitamin. Vitamin c too. Also drinking 4 oz of cherry juice at night

Hi everyone Hope you are all well. Just another cry for help with the HOT FLUSHES, specially at night. I have tried taking the tablet in the evening and morning but the flushes are the same :( I take evening primrose as well but are suffering so bad at night waking up 5-7 times so extremely tired. I

Very hot sweats
Hi Nikonblue. I have been taking Tamoxifen nearly 5 years now. My side effects started about about 3 years now, Fatigue, out of breath, pain in joints all over. I take my Tamoxifen at night & just recently in the last 6 months I have been getting very heavy sweats, so I will try taking them in the morning

Non-cyclical Breast Pain/ Mastalgia & Hypothyroidism: supplementing with Iodine, Progesterone, etc.
I’ve had a search through this forum and found a few posts regarding links between breast and thyroid issues. I take 75mcg T3 and 75mcg T4. You may remember my last blood tests (posted here late last year) which made my GP cross, as they showed I’d gone and self-medicated with T3 - despite him saying

Nice to meet you ... to meet you, nice!
I am a 61 year old male in generally good health and with good fitness and strength. Last November I was diagnosed, using Transperineal biopsy, of having stage 1c, Gleason 4+5 = 9 with a PSA of 11.4. I was immediately started on Bicalutamide and Tamoxifen. A bone scan in late December shown metastization

Lymph nodes
Hi ladies and gents, I saw my oncologist last Monday for the results of my scan. I was told that it is now in my lymph nodes in my chest, I wondered if anyone else has had this. So now I have to go back on chemo starting this Tuesday. He has now taken me off the tamoxifen, I was so hoping they would

Word in the street - which could be better for low grade Caelyx or weekly taxol
Hi I’m being screened for LOGS. My original tumour was NF1 positive so it suggests a MEK inhibitor response. My question, if I get the control arm, do I go for: weekly taxol - I only got a slight response with taxol/ carbo and recurred within e-6 months after finishing treatment. But this will be weekly

Second BC missionary journey
So I was diagnosed with stage 2b estrogen positive breast cancer at the age of 27, 8 years ago. Started treatment with chemo, then mastectomy and radiation. Went through the hell and came back fine to Glory of God. Started taking tamoxifen after the treatment. 3 years later got blessed with a cute baby
