silverfox61

hi all I was diagnosed with breast cancer I November last year, I had 15 sessions of radio and was then put on tamoxifen in feb I have had so many little side effects, post nasal drip, hacking cough, vertigo,opical mirgraine, and now I have a raw ness when I take a deep breath I have had a barium meal test seen an ent doctor and now I am waiting for results from an x ray of my throat, I have never had so many little illnesses all at once, has anyone had any of these as I am quit scared that a tablet can cause these symptoms.                                                               many thanks

Idk if the culprit is Tamoxifen but frankly I wouldn’t doubt it. Multiple stories from ladies with debilitating effects from this drug. I was not one of those people. I had joint pain and difficulty concentrating at times but other than that nothing unmanageable.

Hope your doctor finds some relief for you.

silverfox61, we are sorry to hear all you are going through! Have you also discussed all these symptoms with your medical oncologist? You may want to take a look at this page, as some medications- if you are taking others, should be avoided when taking Tamoxifen. We're here for you.
