Tamoxifen and vomiting

Hi,

 

Can I just ask if any of you ladies have suffered with liver/stomach pain and vomiting while on tamoxifen ? I am now on my 3rd month of taking it and also having monthly zometa injections xx

Hi Maria

have been on tamoxifen ( and herceptin ) since end of April this year. One or both or them gives me frequent nausea of varying severity with occasional  vomiting. Finish herceptin inj next April so may get a better idea then. My instinct blames tamoxifen !!

all the best

I’ve been on tamoxifen as neo-adjuvant (i.e. before surgery) therapy (20mg/day) since August 9th 2016, but have never had any vomiting nor any of the other symptoms you are mentioning. Only side effects I’ve had are fleeting stabbing pains at cancer site or across chest wall & which I think are due to the cancer being “shrunk down” by the tamoxifen, which is what it is supposed to do. Remember that everyone reacts differently to tamoxifen & other treatments.
