Experiences with

Tamoxifen

2nd line caelyx stopped and the mention of single paxi or tamoxifen when symtoms come and radiotherapy for pelvic bone! Would feel better doing something!! Off on holiday Monday so hope to be chilled out!!

I am particularly interested in learning about your experiences after having had chemo and/or /Tamoxifen. Also radiation.

After this treatment i am regularly taking Mamofen (Tamoxifen) and also patient of BP taking Nusar-H(50mg) These days i started facing these problems :- 1. Starting of Lymphadema 2. Severe Osteoporosis 3. My Vitamin D was very low (20 ng/ml) for which i was given (Inj.

Hopefully I'm cancer free. Have put on weight and had blood test came back as hypothyroidism. Am now on 50mg levothyroxine. Can all the above be related and how do you lose weight? Thanks

I am 33 and 1yr into treatment had mastectomy, chemo,immunological medicines, hormones treatment. My endo symtoms eased during chemo as I went into menopause but 5 months post chemo periods are back and hurrendouse heavy, huge clots, painful, bowel pain to just before bowel movement and during so bad

She was changed from letrizole to tamoxifen too and that was it .we are all feeling helpless and sad .any thoughts or help would be appreciated .thanks for reading

If I can't get on the trial I want to join, I may be offered these drugs. Is it right that they help to keep the situation in the same place rather than reduce the the tumours? Has anyone seen a significant reduction in disease using hormone treatment for PPC or Ovarian, particularly low grade. it'll

I was told I am not eligible for BRCA test but then may be offered tamoxifen which I think is for hormone receptive oc? Also have raised ca markers but ct scan not showing anything.

The tamoxifen that i was taken since sept 13 has stopped working after cancer returned in my lymph nodes in my back. Now after ct scan and pain in my back in side. Lumps in my neck. It shows cancer has spread to my other lymph nodes. Im going to have carboplatin. Gem and Avistan starting next week.

One consultant has proposed more radical surgery than the other how long is a safe time to wait before deciding on type of surgery?

My lo has her first injections this week and I have read that you may be asked before the injections if you are in contact with someone that is taking medication for cancer, my mother in law is on tamoxifen for breast cancer, has anyone else been in this situation and also why they ask this?

So im on tamoxifen tablets. Last chech up showed ca125 decreasing. My mum. My aunts died from oc. We have braca 1 gene. My sister had oc year before me and had same treatment and she is still in remussion, lucky thing. They say that people with braca gene respond better to treatment.

I was badly damaged by side effects from Tamoxifen & then Arimidex - nail disintegration, hair loss, joint problems and obesity & other probs.. Under active thyroid is a part of this.

Tamoxifen now being suggested : is there any empirical evidence ? Can anyone offer anecdotal ? Anyone out there , on this ? I have had the bugger return every six months and know what I am dealing with ( I think ! ) , but wonder if anyone has similar medication offered ?

She is recovering from treatment from breast cancer and is taking tamoxifen. One of the side effects is aching joints and tiredness. Do you think she would cope with this programme ? She really wants to get fit again but has to be carefull not to get too tired. Any advice welcome.

reaction to Tamoxifen ?? due to relapsed cancer. Had 2nd line salvage chemo with good result, finished March, then had pulmonary embolism, now on Warfarin. My lovely husband who already suffers with heart problems and rheumatoid arthritis, has had a stroke.

Tab Tamoxifen started but no response. Again 3 more chemo prescribed. Will she be alright?

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence says tamoxifen or raloxifene taken daily by high risk women for five years can cut breast cancer risk by 40%. May provide a treatment option besides mastectomy for women found to be genetically high risk.

This concerns me for so many reasons: Firstly; drugs like tamoxifen bring on early menopause and ageing, and are no fun to take for a long time. It is also implicated in some endometrial cancers.

There are not many options left after doing 5 lines of treatment but we discussed the possible use of Tamoxifen to slow things down on the next check up or perhaps trying single agent Caelyx if chemo is deemed necessary.
