just wondering if anyone out there has taken Tamoxifen after a hysterectomy for uterine cancer.
I just wanted to share this information I've found. The first is a book cowritten by an oncologist, Dr Bluming, called Estrogen Matters. The second is an article he just had published in Cancer Journal entitled 'HRT after Breast Cancer - It Is Time.' I would be happy to send a copy of the article to anyone as he was kind…
Are the causes of hormone therapy failure due to mutations in the tumor dna or bypass mechanisms? Like if you’ve been on some therapy for a while but then develop a new primary, how is this possible when those receptors are suppressed (assuming the patient is compliant with dosing). Also, has anyone had the Breast Cancer…
I just came across this article and thought I'd share. Wasn't quite sure just where to post, but since hormone therapy is an ER/PR+ thing, I thought I would put it here. This new study looks amazing - maybe too good to be true? They've got some ways to go yet of course; as it hasn't even been tested yet in humans, but I…
My docs cannot give me a straight answer on this. Doctor said as long as I'm tolerating it I could stay on it. Then again, she said otherwise they could switch me to anastrozole.

I know pet scans aren’t super accurate for cancer recurrence in breast tissue. But are they as good or better than an oncologist manually examining a breast after mastectomy?
Hi I am wondering if anyone else on here his post menopausal and on tamoxifen. I started last week and have had debilitating headaches every afternoon and brain fog. My doctor said it should taper off in 6 weeks seriously. I am taking at dinner wondering if it would be better to switch it to mornings interested to hear…
I have had a reoccurrence and I’m now being treated with Eligard and was on an aromatase inhibitor. I have been getting really bad joint pain, and have stopped the inhibitor about three weeks ago, but I’m still experiencing quite a bit of joint pain. I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced joint pain from…
