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 PinkGilly, I'm wondering if you'd be able to tell me how you are going with your oncologist and his opinion on the I3C. My bet is that he'd say 'no', unless he's very progressive! Today I finished my 30 treatment radiation course and am supposed to start on Femara in 2 weeks. I'm 66 and way past menopause, but looking at the side effects of Femara, and Arimidex, I think the cure might be worse than the disease. I've been looking into Tamoxifen but that seems to be almost as bad although it's been around for much longer and therefore obviously it's more proven than the other two which are relatively new. I would much rather try an 'alternative' treatment like the one you mentioned, but, again, am nervous! What a coward I am. Has anyone any ideas?? Has anyone any information on the effectiveness of Tamoxifen? Thank you, GayB
