Moving on - in remission from breast cancer but struggling with perimenopause. What supplements can I take?

Offline Claire2110 5 months ago

Hi all,

I had breast cancer last year, after a lumpectomy and radiotherapy I am in remission. However, I am currently dealing with perimenopause symptoms and my breast nurse has told me not to take HRT as my cancer was Oestrogen based and I'm taking tamoxifen for the next 5 years. Has anyone got any ideas on supplements I can take that do not contain hormones? There are so many and I'm so confused.

Hi Claire and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

I'm sorry to hear you're currently contending with some peri-menopausal symptoms.

This must be very challenging, especially if HRT is not an option, but hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar position will be along soon to share their experiences and advice.

If you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all that they can to help.

We're thinking of you Claire and hope you're able to find some suitable supplements that will make your symptoms much more manageable and easier to bear.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
