Hi Poppett,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. While I'm not able to advise specifically, we have some information about Tamoxifen on our website, which includes info on expected side effects.

If you feel things are getting worse, do talk things through with your doctor. Alternatively if you'd like to speak to one of our nurses, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5).

Do also browse or search the forum (using the button in the blue bar above) if you'd like to find other potentially relevant discussions about this.

Wishing you all the best,

Hi Poppett

I've been taking Tamoxifen for five years- five more years to go... I've not had nausea and most of the side effects have hung around for a couple of weeks, gone, sometimes returned at about the same intensity. Sadly weight gain has remained . Also different brands seem to bring different side effects . If the nausea gets too much I imagine your doctor could give you anti nausea medication. .

Hope things get easier.
