TAMOXIFEN

Hi,  I was prescribed Tamoxifen as ajuvant therapy alongside radiotherapy after my lumpectomy for E+ and sentinel biopsies.  I've been reluctant to take this as the "possible" side effects have put me off.  Mainly DVT and possibility of uterine cancer. 

I'm riddled with pain and fatigue due to other health issues so that isn't an issue,  just the two I've mentioned, oh and mood swings. 

Grateful for any input on symptoms anyone has experienced to see if there is a pattern?

  • I totally understand your concerns, I won't be on tamoxifen as I am post menopausal but the hormone inhibitors I will be on sound horrible, I am dreading taking them but will be on them soon....we can only hope and pray the side effects won't be too severe...good luck with yours xx
