Tamoxifen - doubts???

Those standing on their Soapbox on this subject are simply not being helpful.  There is no crystal ball when it comes to cancer and as far as I know no-one here has a direct link to GOD.  

We mostly all know how to research medical journals and quote statistics.  Most of us are fairly intelligent women.  Most of us have had our talk with our Oncologist who are the ONLY people to seek advice from on this subject.  By all means tell us about your experience with these drugs as it helps us all understand how people react differently to these drugs.  I can't remember who made the comment that living a healthy life, eating healthy food etc enables you to tolerate these drugs etc but please - that is simply not true. Talk about inflicting guilt trips!

Most of us know friends who have mastastic cancer both on and off these drugs.  We are all different with our own physiology and we all react differently to drugs, especially these types of drugs. Some bodies reject them outright.  Many women suffer greater than others so please don't judge women who, after careful consideration, opt for quality of life and the statistics that support survival through happiness and contentment. If you want to quote statistics 50% of women who begin therapy simply do not finish.  If your system will tolerate these drugs then be happy about that.  But please don't try and make those of us unable to tolerate them unecessarily frightened!  It's not a sorority.
