Are there natural alternatives to Tamoxifen for breast cancer treatment?
Community Member
9 months agoAre there any natural alternatives to Tamoxifen? I have had Chemotherapy, radiation and am still doing immunotherapy every 3 weeks until March. I have the beginning of osteoporosis (maybe due to the chemotherapy?). Anyway, I am scared of the side effects of Tamoxifen and am wondering if anyone has had good luck with alternative treatments . They want me to take it for 10 years!
Accepted Answer
Many people in this community share concerns about treatment side effects and explore all their options. While there's ongoing research into natural compounds and their potential benefits, it's important to have an open conversation with your oncology team about your specific concerns, including the bone health issues you're experiencing. Your medical team can help weigh the benefits and risks of different approaches based on your individual situation and may have suggestions for managing side effects that could make treatment more tolerable.
