Tamoxifen side effects?
Hi Everyone
I have read in a few people' s posts that they suffer from some side effects from taking Tamoxifen. I am 42 years old and after I have my chemo I will be put onto Tamoxifen for 5 years...

Hi Lovely Ladies,
I have been taking Tamoxifen for about a month now and find the moods swings the worse. The last couple of days I have had pelvic pain and into one of my ovaries. I will check in with the medical oncologist with my next visit in a week or so. No real hot flushes or major night sweats. I know someone earlier mentioned Indoplex. I am taking that as well as Tamoxifen. I have been seeing a Nautropath and she believes that they can be taken together. She has read a paper on it and as I understand the Tamoxifen blocks the estrogen receptors and the Indoplex helps metabolise and eliminate the estrogen. I am considering the CYP2D6 gene test to see if I metabolise Tamoxifen. I don't see the point of taking chemicals if they are not working.
It's such a journey and I guess at the end of the day, I have to find peace with what knowledge I can find. Thank you all so much for your information. It is so nice not feel so alone. Blessings.
