Tamoxifen

[lottie46]

been prescribed tamoxifen not sure whether to take it or not as side effects are not great

[woofgang]

are you saying that you are having side effects or you have read about them? If you are having side effects then go back and speak to the prescriber...actually go and speak to the prescriber anyway!

Lottie, I think you should have another talk with whichever physician prescribed this for you , it is a balance always to weigh up the advantages against the side effects and they are often different for each person.

[Sqad]

I don't understand your question.

One presumes that it has been prescribed for malignant disease of the breast.

Have you already started taking the drug and having side effects or have you heard about side effects which have "put you off" taking the drug?

[EDDIE51]

If it is as sqad says, the effects of not taking it will be FAR worse than any possible side effects.

Gave my mother an extra 5 years from the initial consultation giving only months!
