Missed Tamoxifen doses
Hi all, I’m on holidays away from home and did not take along my Tamoxifen. I will miss 5 days of it. What do I do?
Hi @Stormbird63
In a discussion with my oncologist in June re tamoxifen she advised it takes approximately 1 month to get out of your system. ( For context i was reacting badly to it after having taken it for 20 months. I am now on Letrozole. ) So before changing to the AI I had a 6 week break to get all the tamoxifen out of my system
My message to you is not to panic. 5 days won't be the end of the world but I think @Afraser suggestion about getting your dr to provide a script to z local chemist is a good one.
