Hi Rozigi,

Sorry to hear you are in pain.  I have been taking Tamoxifen for just over a month - I don’t have stomach pain but I feel nauseous and my tummy feels quite burny and  unsettled.  I also have a continuous metallic taste in my mouth.  I had this for pretty much the whole term of my pregnancies - a long time ago - my children are 20 ans 18.  My oncologist has said its hormonal - I think I guessed that .  He didn’t offer any remedies - I am hoping it eases with time.  

I would speak with your oncologist to see if they can offer any advice.

I hope you are feeling better soon xo

Thank you lady’s for the feed back i spoke to my oncologist and she said that she dose not think it from tamoxifen but it started after i started taking tamoxifen
