I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in 2017. I had a lumpectomy and 2 rounds of chemo(couldnt handle any more). After many different medicines my doctor finally put me on tamoxifen said I would be on it for at least 10 years. Within the first 6 months of being on it I noticed the underneath tissue of the breast that had cancer seemed to be hardening. I’ve went to the doctor and after ultrasound and being checked I was told that this is a normal side effect from the tamoxifen. Although the hardening hasn’t grown its still there and causes pain in my breast. Has anyone else experienced this as i cannot find any information to support my doctors claim?
Thanks for putting this on here. I’m sorry I cant help but I’m trying to make s decision as to whether to take tamoxifen.
I had horrible side effects on anastrozole and so the doc took me off it.
I really don’t want to take these drugs but dont want to be stupid.
I’m sad you’ve had to go through this. I’ve also read other side effects today from tamoxifen. I dont think I’ll be taking them.
Sending love to you xxx
