tamoxifen

Hi there Gosh, I didn't know the research had found out that much regarding tamoxifen! I'm certainly glad I was changed to arimidex after my second mastectomy. I'd already had a partial hysterectomy in my 30s. How are you now? There's a lot of side effects with this one too...mostly fatigue, hot flashes, (which I have to admit have lessened), the biggest one is joint and general pain. The oncologist has suggested that I try some other aromatose inhibitor, however my thinking is if it's helping keep my secondary bone cancer at bay, I need to tolerate them. It's difficult to try & be more active when one is exhausted all the time. Keep in touch on here. Its such a good forum for us! Cheers Kathleen
