Twilight zone to Tamoxifen. Confused about scan, about treatment. Any experience, opinions and general comments very welcome .
Trying
Tamoxifen
, which I thought was anti-oestrogen for breast cancer. I am so confused, the clinic was an hour and half late and I was so relieved the scan showed no spread, the SHO said my PSA was rising ( Have I had a sex change), then asked me if I was still having periods!!!!!

Seen by haematologist - no further forward at moment
No further forward, feeling a bit angry, if I haven't got it I've been subjected to unnecessary treatment and surgery with breast cancer (couldn't take
tamoxifen
because of clotting risk, so 2 1/2 years of injections to shut down my ovaries then an oopherectomy - early menopause etc) - if I have got

Has anyone been on Tamoxifen for OC?
Hello ladies My ca is rising slowly and is now 158 and my Onc has suggested
Tamoxifen
for a few months to see if it stabilises the disease.

Maintenance therapies?
I've heard about
Tamoxifen
, but took that for 5 years after breast cancer and hated the side effects. I read that Fulvestrant is an alternative with less side effects. The other thing that seems to be quoted is PARP inhibitors, specifically Olaparib.

3rd Recurrence
My Oncologist has spoken about
Tamoxifen
for 3 months & then another scan & if no change would then try Radium as at the moment they will not do surgery. I know nothing about these treatments & I'm reading on this site about injections to help with the platelets?

Anyone with any experience of tamoxifen?
Her oncologist has put her on
tamoxifen
in the hope that it might slow or stop the rise in her ca125. Does anyone have any experience of this drug? Good or bad? Also does ca125 tend to rise more quickly with a recurrence?

A "C" of Information: Cancer and the Internet
However, when considered in the context that a woman’s risk of developing uterine cancer increases from 0.1% to 0.2% when taking
tamoxifen
this risk is heavily outweighed by the well established benefits of taking
tamoxifen
to treat and prevent breast cancer.
