I have been on Tamoxifen for about 2 months and previously on Letrazole for about 4 months. I am convinced my aching jaw is due to the medication but have been told it is grinding my teeth and clicking my jaw due to stress. Also having to go to toilet a lot . I am 61and your bladder gets weaker with age and reduced oestrogen. Feel like coming off the meds but have now been prescribed Vagifem to help with toilet issues. This is helping a little. My gp has told me there is little chance of recurrence but the oncologist strongly advises i take Tamoxifen . I had a mastectomy early stage cancer grade 2 lobular with clear nodes. ONcotype test of 25. Welcome any advice as dont know if I can live with these side effects.
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to hear about the side effects you're experiencing at the moment and I'm sorry I can't help with your questions but I noticed that your post hadn't had any responses yet. By replying to you it will 'bump' your post back to the top of the discussions list. I'm also tagging this group's Community Champion GRANNY59 into my reply in case she can help you further.
When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
