Did 18 mo of
Tamoxifen
and switched to Anastrozole due to liver changes and had gallbladder removed. I’m 4 1/3 yrs out from diagnosis. My tumor was aggressive so chemo helped reduce recurrence rate in first few year.

Hello
Following that I was put on
Tamoxifen
Arimidex and Taxol. After being off for 5 years last year in 2022 I was diagnosed in the other breast with cancer. I had surgery and a implant put in place. I am on Ibrance and Fulvestrant.

Radiation treatment for gynecomastia? Anyone?
(I know that
tamoxifen
is also used to combat gynecomastia but I am worried about side effects of that oral medication - - on top of side effects I already get from ADT medication.). Thanks much for any input.

The other prescribed
Tamoxifen
. Arimadex caused a lot of joint pain, cramps horrible I am told. In Australia if progression CDK4/6 inhibitors are no longer funded so trial after ‘holiday’ is not funded . Has anyone had success after a break or another CDK4/6 inhibitor ?

Update: PSA after IMRT
My breasts had not only gotten enlarged but they had also become quite painful, and the
Tamoxifen
my RO had put me on did not help with this. He then ordered an early PSA test, and when it came back at just .12, he was okay with my getting off the bicalutamide.

It is such a new drug so unlike
Tamoxifen
, where the results of being on the drug for 5 years are so long lasting, I don't think they have the data yet on long term effectviness of 3 years on Tagrisso.

Advice needed IVF
They put him on Clomid,
Tamoxifen
and Pregynl. My testing came back "normal". AMH is 1.66 and an AFC of 16. Doctor gave us a 90% chance of the first round working because "you have the easiest problem to fix with IVF". Looking back, I was stupid to believe this.

Is this normal?
Today my MO put me on
tamoxifen
with scans scheduled in 2-3 months. Is this a normal route to follow? I thought this was an old drug meant for breast cancer patients stages 1-3 who were trying to prevent it from coming back or spreading. Just looking for any tidbits you may have.

Testing if Aromatise inhibitors work for you- you might be able to stop taking them
It was a test to see if
Tamoxifen
or any of the aromatase inhibitors work are helpful to take for my breast cancer. I would need to look up my exact diagnosis as I can’t remember exactly. I know it was hormone receptive invasive ductal stage 2.

Afinitor/Everolimus and Tamoxifen is next :(
Now I start
Tamoxifen
with Afinitor 🤞🤞🤞 I am really, really hoping I'm one of those who don't get too bad a time on this regimen, yet it seems that most DO have a fairly challenging time?

After radiation in July of 2022, I was off everything except
Tamoxifen
for a year, and then my cancer showed up again in my chest wall this spring on an MRI, PET scan, and biopsy confirmed.

Insomnia with new brand of Tamoxifen
I am taking the
tamoxifen
in the morning so I don’t think timing is an issue. I don’t really want to take sleeping pills as a long term solution? Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
