Confused
I have been advised
tamoxifen
and radiotherapy but no chemo. However, I decided to take a second opinion and the doctor advised me to have the Ki67 test done to rule out chemo and I have the results: between 30-35%.

Tamoxifen and sudden period
I did have large fibroids before diagnosis but onc said he wasn’t too bothered when first put on
tamoxifen
. This month I had a very light period which lasted 9 days and spotting since. All of old well known symptoms came with period too! Spots, back ache and headache...

First yearly nammogram
I’m taking
tamoxifen
which seems ok so far and also on the add aspirin trial. It’s funny, it’s almost like it hasn’t all happened sometimes but that thought is always in the back of my mind. I hope that as time passes that will get less.

Tamoxifen
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

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.

Nice to meet you ... to meet you, nice!
I was immediately started on Bicalutamide and
Tamoxifen
. A bone scan in late December shown metastization to the right pelvis. I am being treated at St Luke's Cancer Centre and the proposed next treatment step is zoladex followed by starting chemo.

First Anniversary of diagnosis disappointment.
I expected to have a more thorough check up after the 2 month delay to diagnose the cancer back in February 2017 and the type of aggressive TNBC which means I can't have the routine
Tamoxifen
tablets. I have only been able to have bisphosphonate tablets to protect my bones.

Non-cyclical Breast Pain/ Mastalgia & Hypothyroidism: supplementing with Iodine, Progesterone, etc.
This is essentially untreatable, bar taking Evening Primrose Oil and ultimately maybe even a course of
Tamoxifen
.

Chemotherapy, a Trusty Weapon Against Cancer, Falls Out of Favor
They can take pills, such as
Tamoxifen
, which reduces the risk of recurrence. Use of chemotherapy to treat early breast cancer has been declining, according to a study led by Dr. Katz and Stanford oncologist Allison Kurian published in December in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

My story
I was given
Tamoxifen
but I was also taking Celexa which apparently didn't jive with one another so I was told to stop the
Tamoxifen
and was put on effexor. I started Ibrance September 2016,along with faslodex and Zomeda.

Bloating and possible cyst on ovary from tamoxifen
After am examination it was decided to book me for an ultrasound at hospital, I had expressed my concern of uterus thickening which is a common side effect of
tamoxifen
which I have been taking 2 years end of January, or perhaps an ovarian cyst.

Hyperparathyroidism and breast cancer
I am post mastectomy and now on
Tamoxifen
but the GP and the oncologist have referred me to an endocrinologist now to check my parathyroid glands. I'm also due a bone scan.

Word in the street - which could be better for low grade Caelyx or weekly taxol
BTW - I could have
tamoxifen
. I’m keen. But letrozole didn’t hold me. But it could work and if it didn’t, I would move onto MEK inhibitor arm of trial Any thoughts? thanks
