EGFR and timing of drugs?

Options

Interesting article......I wonder if it means we should take Tamox or AI´s at night too?

Israeli study on EGFR saying cancer cells grow faster during sleep so drugs to fight this work better at night

    I take my antihormonal meds before going to bed. I could never remember to take them during the day, so I took them at night by default. I've been doing that 6.5 years now. I wonder if the scientists considered any interaction of the drugs with melatonin.

    Very interesting article, Lily. I took my tamoxifen at night, and now I take my letrozole at night before I go to bed. I am also curious if this will lead to oncologists advising patients to take these medications before bedtime as well. Thank you for sharing.

    thank you for posting this.
    I will take my Tamoxifen at night.

    Maybe it's also very important to keep blood sugars low especially at night - not eating late at night.
