Hi Lisa,
It's Lisa from the Policy Team. I am sorry to hear about the side effects you are experiencing from tamoxifen. I'd encourage you to speak to your medical oncologist about your concerns about the dose and the side effects you are experiencing. It might also be useful to get a second opinion if you feel your doctor is not listening to your concerns or answering the questions you have.
You may also like to download our Hormone Therapy and Breast Cancer booklet. The booklet contains information about tamoxifen and the other hormone therapies, as well as practical tips that might help to reduce some of the side effects. If you are thinking about taking any complementary medicine, it is important first to talk to you doctor as some may interfere with your breast cancer treatments.
