Side Effect- discharge

Haven’t had period for four 4months since coming off HRT. I am 60. Have been on Tamoxifen for 1 month and today have brown discharge and backache like ghe beginning of a period and its scared me. Anyone else had this , is it a side effect and is it serious?

Hi there

yes i got a discharge with Tamoxifen, my onc said that as long as it wasnt blood i didnt have anything to worry about, after a couple of weeks it wasnt going away so he gave me a course of Fluconazole which im pretty sure is what i got given during chemo to stop oral thrush but anyway its worked and im happy.
I didnt have the backache though, it might be worth giving your onc secretary a ring just to see if the onc would want to check you over.

take care
