tamoxifen
i have just started treatment on tamoxifen tablets 20mg has anybody alse been put on these if so any side effects
Thanks Jandy. I am like you probalby too scared not to take it but also scared of the side effects. I have read, and always question what I've read, that Tamoxifen will not only increase my risk of uterine and liver cancer significantly, but also increase my risk of blood clotting by 30%. My dad died from a blood clot so I am concerned.
The World Health Organisation has designated Tamoxifen as a human carcinogen and the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council warned that no amount of tamoxifen is safe when it comes to carcinogenic effects. I am yet to confirm these statements tho.....just read them on a sight. http://all-natural.com/tamox.html
How do you know what to believe? I am just hoping I can find something natural and effective so that I dont have to take Tamoxifen but I'm doubtful that will happen and I'll end up on it. If so, I think I will ask for a hysterectomy because at 47 I wont be having any more children and menopause is not that far away. Chemo has bought it on anyway.
Sigh. this is a difficult journey to navigate. Am grateful for this sight and the wisdom of those who have travelled this journey ahead of me.
