3 years agoI am supposed to start Tamoxifen in 2 weeks after I am done with radiation. Has anyone NOT gained weight on Tamoxifen?
Accepted Answer
Many people in this community have successfully managed their weight while on Tamoxifen through mindful eating habits, regular physical activity when possible, and staying hydrated. It's encouraging to hear from others who share their strategies and experiences with hormone therapy, so hopefully some community members will chime in with what has worked for them.

6 months agoI am grateful to say that I did not gain weight with Tamoxifen. I was on it for over a year, until switching to anastrozole recently. I seem to be having a bit more challenge with that. But, it could be due to the fact my appetite is better 1.5 years after surgery/radiation! (Mmm, that brownie was good)

6 months agoJane how are you doing on the Tamoxifen? I swear so many women fear this massive weight gain and then it never happens. Hoping it’s manageable for you so far?
