Tamoxifen side effects
Hi ladies I have read that many of you have had various side effects from taking
Tamoxifen
. The mother of a dear friend of mine did not go into great detail other than ''the side effects were so bad that she decided to stop taking the meds and had a mastectomy instead!!!

Stupid Question ?
But what about
Tamoxifen
? Is it a case of one or the other? Or the one they feel best fits your cancer. I feel this may be a stupid question but wanted to ask thanks.

Forgot to take Tamoxifen!
I forgot to take
Tamoxifen
today. I take it at 9am everyday. I'm 12 hours late. Question: Should I take it now and delay tomorrow's days by a few hours or let it be today and take tomorrow 's dose as usual?

New to this group of amazing women
I am now having 33 radiation treatments followed by
Tamoxifen
for 5+ years. I am praying I chose the right path. Anyone else have an Oncotype test come back as a 29?

tamoxifen

Hmmmm not sure....
I must admit I found the thought of
tamoxifen
"keeping away my cancer" comforting emotionally. Anyone got any thoughts please?

IVF and breast cancer - my experience
I have more surgery and radio to come and then 10 years of
tamoxifen
. The doctors are adopting what they call a 'belt and braces' approach. However, the reason I'm posting here is not to do with the treatment, but with the cause.

You are all wonderful and without your kindness and generosity I think I would have gone loopy - although by the sound of it the
tamoxifen
might do that anyway!! Here's hoping we all have a healthy 2017. Much love, Jackie x

Feeling hopeful but still have a long way to go
My question is, if I'm having my ovaries, tubes and uterus removed, why wouldn't I just stay on
tamoxifen
rather than switching to Letrazole for the 10 years? I know that there are some potential serious side effects with letrazole and I haven't had any with
tamoxifen
.

Hi! Lobular BC with bone mets....
I did not respond well with the anti- hormone drugs Arimidex,
Tamoxifen
, or Faslodex. I am currently on Xeloda, an oral chemo pill, and am responding pretty well. I just completed 24 infusions or 2 years of Zometa, a bone strengthener.

Tamoxifen side effects
I have just started
Tamoxifen
after being on various other treatments. I have been on it just under a week. Does anyone else have a sore mouth and cracked lips? Also I have had 2 night's not sleeping at all. These side effects do not seem to be on the list they gave me.
