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.

Side effects from medications
Due to my cancer I take
tamoxifen
and I had hot flushes after I took that medication in the evening but the hot flushes are now all day. The dizzy spells I was getting in the evening post Candersartan have decreased. Thanks for considering

Liver and spine mets just started Gemzar and my hormone blocker tamoxifen stopped working so began letrazole. Is anyone taking this combo?
I just began Gemzar and Letrosole. My neutrophils are 0.4. Is anyone familiar with this combination and have advice on getting my immune system stronger so I can get treatment? Thank you.

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.

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?

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.

side effects of Tamoxifen
She underwent a lumpectomy in her left breast, chemo, radiation and has been on hormone therapy - 1 tab of
Tamoxifen
a day since 2017. She must have it for 10 years i.e. upto 2027, as a preventive against recurrence of the cancer.

Incoming Newbie!
I had breast cancer 4.5 years ago (lumpectomy and radiotherapy only - very lucky) and have been on
tamoxifen
since then. Due to finish
tamoxifen
in July 2024. Apparently the taking of this drug increased my chances of endometrial cancer … and that’s what I had. Stage 1B.

How long should I continue with bicalutamide after radiotherapy?
wanted me to stay on the drug for another 6 months, but in my last visit I told him that I wanted to get off it sooner because I feel it is delaying my return to strength, creating mood swings, hindering my faltering libido, and giving me some breast swelling and pain, for which he prescribed 10 mg of

remove ovaries or not? Confused & worried!
At the end of the 5 years, no advice from go or anyone else I stopped the
tamoxifen
cold turkey, in the USA I found out they recommend a slower withdrawal, anyhow (sorry I am getting there!)

Xtandi monotherapy is very effective
I think this can be avoided by combining it with 20 mg
Tamoxifen
.

Hi ….from a newly dx’d comrade from the UK
Drs Initial plan was for removal,
tamoxifen
& chemo….but that may have changed since MRI Undecided if I should just go for mastectomy though and I’ve read that
tamoxifen
is better for pre-menopausal women. Would welcome any advice or tips on navigating this journey.

Ibrance questions
Hi there I recently started Ibrance and
tamoxifen
. I am wondering if there are any supplements we should not take with Ibrance? Does anyone know if curcumin is OK or not? Just checking to see what anyone knows about what supplements we should not take with Ibrance.

Tamoxifen switch to Femara (letrozole)
Hello, I was put on
tamoxifen
for about 2 months but went off due to side effects (brain fog, depression). It's been about 2 weeks off, and I feel pretty normal again. My doctor has prescribed Femara to see if I do any better. Does anyone have experience on Femara (letrozole) ?
