This is a safe place to share your experiences of others considering or on hormonal treatment.
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…
Hi everyone. I am finally going to be finished with Anastrozole (with my Oncologist's agreement after Breast Cancer Index test) this October. Here's my 1st question to the women who stopped taking the med after 5, 7, or 10 years: Did you feel or see any difference, in what way and how long did it take to be noticeable? Did…
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.

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…
Is there anyone here that is currently taking Tamoxifen and is experiencing suicidal bad thoughts? I am on the verge of wanting to stop it all together. Taking an additional anti depression pill is causing even more severe side effects. One pill covering another, when the main issue is Tamoxifen. Anyone reading this, if…
Has anyone noticed an accelerated aging process while being on tamoxifen?
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! I'm finding endocrine therapy mostly quite tolerable but have pretty consistent fatigue. Does anyone else experience this on…
Hello, I am on Tamoxifen for almost 2 years now and now starting to experience incontinence. I made an appointment with the urologist but was wondering if anybody had the same experience.
