tamoxifen
i have just started treatment on tamoxifen tablets 20mg has anybody alse been put on these if so any side effects
Hi all,
Was googling to see if having period-like pain was normal while on letrazole (and post-menopause). I have been on letrazole for nearly 2 months (ovaries out in May) and just over the last week getting lower back/abdomenal pain like I had with my periods. Does anyone else get this?
Also, I haven't heard of B17 but my nutritionist has had me taking CDG (Calcium D-Glucarate - 2 pills 3 times a day). Apparently they are doing clinical trials testing efficacy against tamoxifen. I had ER+ cancer twice and was likely oestregen dominant after looking back on symptoms my whole life. CDG is supposed to help with metabolizing oestregen. I was on tamoxifen for nearly 1.5yrs when second cancer found.
I started taking CDG while I was still doing chemo earlier this year. My nutritionist believes this has helped with hot flushes - I do get them but only 2-3 times in the evening. I have noticed it is worse if I forget to take the pills for a couple of days in a row (or have a couple of vinos!)
