I’ve been on Nolvadex-D since 2007 and it’s been fine apart from recurring attacks of cystitis.
This latest ‘do’ has kept me away from work, it was so bad.
Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi Linda,
Ive been on APS Tamoxifen for just over a year now and have recently had 2 attacks of cystitis over the last 2 mths, im starting to wonder if their is a connection too. Ive never had it before and Its horrible. I needed antibiotics in the end as had blood in my urine which freaked me out a bit. Its very painfull isnt it, i just hope its not going to keep reacurring ,i shall mension it to my onc when i see him in March to see if he thinks its the Tamox
All the best
Linda (another one lol)
I have been on tamoxifen since Jan 1st and have had cystitis 3x, twice in the last month or so, I think there must be a link too. Had to go to A&E today as was so painful and my unhelpful GP reception said their next available appointment is a week on friday! I too am off work as, no joke going to the loo every 30mins and have really bad back ache.
Just did a quick google search and the below link confirms among other lovely side effects cystitis is one of them! whoop de doo. I have been on antibiotics past 3 days and have another 5 to go so fingers crossed.
