Has anyone noticed an accelerated aging process while being on tamoxifen?
Good morning! I have a question about experience with Tamoxifen. I started on 5mg daily just about a month ago. I understand that is not the recommended dosage but I agreed with my MO to start there. I’ve noticed some mood changes and things like that. The one that is bugging me quite a bit is that I feel like I have…
It's been a long time since I've posted here. I was so scared when I was initially diagnosed but have gotten through a lot - surgery, chemo, and several years of endocrine therapy - no small feat!

Does anybody had seen a changes in skin pigmentation. I am considering to do face laser treatment to get rid, but at the moment am still taking tamoxifen. Wonder if there's any side effect or its safe to go for laser?

My MO prescribed Lexapro because he knows more about it, he said. I asked to try Wellbutrin instead because of the depression and fatigue I am feeling from the AI. I have been on ADs in the past, including Wellbutrin, and know it’s a commitment if you want to benefit from them. I started Lexapro but quit after a few days.…
I'm coming up on 5 years of anastrozole... After lumpectomy and radiation for stage 1 grade 1 idc. My oncologist knows Im always anxious, but he isn't really definitive on whether or not I should stop the AI.
