Hi everyone.
Had a checkup today with my onc and now have Tamoxifen in my hot little hands.
Im trying to find the courage to start it but im so scared. Im scared of the side effects and how it wi...
Hi ladies, I have been on tamoxifen for 10 months and for the first 8 mnths had no trouble just a few hot flushes... in fact I thought is it actually doing anything!. The flushes are getting stronger but I am 51 years of age, so menopause should be around the corner.Two months ago I developed tingling in my fingers and feet.... Leapt to drama queen conclusions and decided I had MS, but did all the tests and I am fine, in fact nothing wrong.
So I think its the tamxoifen , but no one else agrees. Its listed in the sideeffects list but as very rare but the oncologist says that those studies didnt prove it was tamoxifen and was probably coincidental. They've told me fibromyalgia and I should take up yoga and relaxation or take endep at night.
'Has anyone else had tingling? If so did it go away when you stopped it. I can put up with it if I know it will go away in another 4 years and 2 mnths.
