Tamoxifen

Hello

Last year i had surgery, chemo and then radiotherapy for breast cancer.  In september i started taking tamoxifen, however ive noticed ive put on quite a lot of weight since starting tamoxifen.  Is anyone else on tamoxifen and have u noticed any change in weight? I was very active before my diagnosis and im building my strength back up to running again but im struggling to lose weight.

  • Hi there

    I was on tamoxifen for 9 months and started putting on weight stomach/thighs. I am finding it really difficult to shift this weight. I was active throughout my treatment and still am but its not making a bit of difference. I was hoping when I moved to anastrozole things would get better but I'm afraid that has not been the case. I'm just going to have to work harder.
