Side Effects of Tamoxifen: Sharing Experiences

Hopefully someone will answer specifically to Tamoxifen (I’ve heard most do well on it) but if it isn’t a good fit for you ask if you can try an aromatase inhibitor instead. That’s what I’m on and I find it very tolerable!

Yes: ovarian cysts so severe I was debilitated

I tried aromatase and it almost crippled my hands where I couldn't even turn a door nob. They switched me to Tamoxifen and it was more tolerable. Have been on it 3 years.

Side effects from tamoxifen can be challenging for many patients, and connecting with others who understand can provide valuable support and perspective. This community is a great place to share experiences and learn how different people have managed similar situations with their healthcare teams.
