I was diagnosed with stage 2 bc 1 & 1/2 yrs ago, I had a lumpectomy and radiotherapy.
I was taking tamoxifen for a few months but the side effects were so bad my dr said to take a three month break.
The break was amazing no nasty lady problems just back to the old me again.
I’ve been back on them for a week and I already have terrible side effects & hair loss and it’s making me feel really down.
Im considering to stop them altogether
Hi Sbtodd
It’s Emily here from Breast Cancer Care.
I’m really sorry to hear about the side effects you’ve had from tamoxifen.
While you’re waiting for replies on here, I wanted to let you know that we have a few telephone volunteers who had difficult side effects from tamoxifen, and decided to either change brand, or to change the type of hormone treatment. If you’d like to be put in touch with someone, feel free to give us a call on 0345 077 1893 and we can arrange this for you.
Hopefully you’ll get some replies on here too.
Best wishes
Emily at Breast Cancer Care
