Tamoxifen side effects

After 9 months of horrendous bleeding I am going to have a hystectomy 

17 months ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer & had lumpectomy & radiotherapy - everything was fine until I started tamoxifen - no one would believe me when I said I f

Felt ill, I bled for months and felt tired beyond words. I kept on going back to see if I could come off tamoxifen - and was      Finally  taken off after 5 3      Months of bleeding    I'm still bleeding 9 months later and am due to have a hystectomy in 4 days time - I could end up with cancer of the womb if left for much longer I'm told . Don't be afraid to go back if you feel ill - we should be listened to more - I knew something was wrong and I was right

for millions of women tamoxifen is the wonder drug but for some of us .... It isn't

  • I'm sorry to hear that Donna and very pleased to hear you are awaiting the treatment you need. Many people have pre-menopausal symptoms like this so has your surgeon definitely attributed the bleeding to Tamoxifen or could this have happened whether you have cancer or not, or were on medication or not?
