Tamoxifin
I have now been on Tamoxifin for 4 weeks, all seems to be good but in the last couple days have had a yucky discharge - of course had to google the so said side effects and some of what I found said ...

When did you last have a period and are you well over menopause?These questions might help you decide whether to run to the doctors.I hadn't had a period for 3 years and have been on Tamoxifen for over 2 years. I decided to have a month off this drug over xmas/new year cos it was so hot and my hot flushes were driving me nuts.Anyway,when I started it back up again I got a similar discharge to what you have.I went to my gp and she ordered blood tests(tumour markers etc) and a pelvic ultrasound. It all came back normal and so when I saw my oncologist for my annual visit he said not to worry that this sometimes happens.However,he also said if the discharge keeps going then go back to my gp and I guess I'd have to see a gynea then.I've had it now for about 6 weeks but it's barely noticeable now -gonna hold out abit longer! If you haven't had a recent pap test or you are worried then go see your gp.You would probably be ordered the above tests I mentioned. Always seems to be something to worry about after the bc journey ay.
