I have been on Tamoxifen for 1 month and start to get tinnitus which occurs all the time (not occasionally), when it's night it's worse 'cause it's much more quiet; and at day time when it's not very noisy I can feel it as well. Tinnitus is not mentioned on the material about SEs from Tamoxifen I got from the clinic....but…
My DCIS is estrogen receptor + and i am wondering if the aloe vera gel in the good clean love i am using for my vagina dryness will increase the level of estrogen in the body as i read the aloe vera will mildly increase estrogen level in the body. Any advice. Thanks.
Hi all! I'm starting this thread for those of us premenopausal women who are receiving ovarian suppression treatment (Lupron, Zoladex, oopherectomy, etc.) plus hormonal therapy (tamoxifen, exemestane, or another AI). For me, there's a lot of fear and worry over how this will impact my overall well-being... how it will age…

I want to share my experience to hopefully help others decide. I tried the generic anastrozole and stopped after day one. Side effects were unbearable. I informed my oncologist that I decided not to do the hormonal treatment because of side effects and asked if she would monitor me instead. Thankfully she agreed to. But I…
I've seen a lot of women report that their ADHD meds don't work as well at certain times in their menstrual cycles. Wondering if anyone has noticed if their tamoxifen affected the effectiveness of their medication for ADHD? I got my ADHD diagnosis at 40, and haven't had a "normal" life or schedule since then so it's hard…
It took me a while to get here, I was diagnosed on 2/11 - and BMX on 3/13. Low Onco Type, so taking Tamoxifen for 5 years. I am 30 days into Tamoxifen, and it's making me feel awful. Tired, moody, LOTS of nausea and brain fog. The Tomaxifen is harder than the mastectomy recovery. In the mornings I sometimes feel like I…

I am struggling with taking these medications. Femara was the first one I tried and it was a no go. I was excessively tired all the time. After 3 months I switched to aromasin, which was a little better. But after over a year in this, I have bothersome side effects like tiredness, weakness, joint and back pain,…
I am curious if anyone has taken a break from hormone inhibitors for a month. I had surgery in January 2023 for invasive lobular cancer of the left breast and had a mastectomy. My oncotype was 13% and I had radiation therapy for 5 weeks. One lymph node was positive. I have been on and off hormone inhibitors since last…
