Experiences with

Tamoxifen

She has been offered tamoxifen after her last chemotherapy treatment wasn't successful. She would like to know other people's experiences of tamoxifen, how you found it and was it successful treatment for you? Thank you for all your help as always. Best wishes Anna Ovacome Support

Hi- I have been on Tamoxifen for five years- because I had a history of UTIs when I was much younger and was worried about the effects of tamoxifen on bladder and vagina I used local low dose estrogen -Estring or Vagifem depending on what was available - apparently this very localized dose doesn’t affect

I have been on tamoxifen for 7 and a half years now but for some reason for the last 4-5 years I get lots of UTI’s which are unpleasant and painful.

Have been on tamoxifen for 6 years after mastectomy, chemo and radiotherapy. I've still not had my 5th year follow up with the oncologist, when I call them they just say “sorry no capacity”.

I have a question for tamoxifen users. Not a big deal but I am curious. I am 76 and have been on tamoxifen for a year and a half. I have gray hair - quite long. The hair is thinning but my curiosity is about my hair darkening. It is turning a dark brunette. Just seems kind of weird.

Hi everyone, I'm a high school student working on an exciting project to develop an app that provides personalized medication reviews for Tamoxifen. This app will help users understand how Tamoxifen works for people with similar demographics (gender, ethnicity, weight, age).

I received 8 chemotherapy Tamoxifen and Zoladex . January 2024 I got liver metastases. Ca15-3 markers > 800. I received 8 Docetaxel and I had regression (Ca15-3 is 125). I have been taking Palbociclib + Anastrazole for 2 months.

I asked my MO about using transdermal tamoxifen along with the estradiol to reduce the gynecomastia. She said she did not know if the topical gel would provide the same benefit as oral tamoxifen and could not find safety data regarding the side effects of compounded formulations.

Seen tthe Oncologist My lump has grown it's now 22mm so the tamoxifen wasn't doing its work. So we are going to try another drug called anastrozole, for two months then back to the Oncologist to see if it worked if it hasn't then look at other options. The tamoxifen has been stopped.

Am 55 started Tamoxifen a month ago - how are you coping with hot flushes and sexual dysfunctions ? Thanks

Oncologist is recommending Capeciabine plus tamoxifen Anyone else have knowledge on this and are there alternatives out there? Many thanks

Previous treatment with FEC docetaxel completed August 2009, tamoxifen 2009 to 2012, oophorectomy 2013, letrozole 2012 to 2017. CURRENT TREATMENT: 1. Letrozole since March 31, 2020. 2. Ibrance dose reduced to 75 mg due to neutropenia. 3.

I’ve used Faslodex, Tamoxifen, Letrozole. I’m assuming those are all estrogen blockers. I get confused between taking two drugs at once. Thanks for any insight.

Has anyone considered/actually got clomid or tamoxifen out of desperation from a source other than a clinic? and if you did, did it work and did you have any ill affects from it? I know all the risks of buying online but I just wondered if anyone has done it?

I was on Tamoxifen for 5 years. In 2014, I was shocked when the cancer reoccurred. I was diagnosed with same BC as before, but it was now HER2+. I participated in a clincial trial which I later found out was for Kadcyla.

I was hoping I was done with treatment, but was told I need to take tamoxifen. I read a lot of horrible stories about the side effects tamoxifen caused.

Then put on Tamoxifen. All well for a while then relapse so back on chemo and then on a drug targeted therapy called Rubraca, that's the short name for it. Was on and off it because of various things to do with my blood's but it was working until I got a bowel obstruction.

If so it could mean Surgery Radiotherapy or drugs, if its shrinking to stay on Tamoxifen and he would see me in months. So I'm just waiting for appointments at the moment Gordon (Redier)

After the op I had 6 rounds of TAC chemo which included the red devil and had steroids then ten years of tamoxifen then letrozole hormone tablets. A few years ago I had a dexi scan and thought nothing of it. However my GP has recently referred me for another one to investigate oesteoporosis.
