I’m on tamoxifen and I’m flying to Jamaica for a cruise in 3 weeks. Yes escaping Xmas!!! Does anyone know if you have to stop taking tamoxifen because of high risk of clots. If so when?
Advice greatly appreciated!

Must say I’ve never heard of such a thing. I’d get flights socks and take half an aspirin every four hours …
Julie,
Sorry I can’t help with advice, but I have read that there is a link with blood clots and I think you should get expert advice for a long haul flight.
