I was diagnosed two years ago and just before Christmas was prescribed tamoxifen. Does anyone have any experience of this. My onc agreed this week I could stop taking it due to the impact it was having on me. Haven’t taken it for nearly three weeks but still so so bloated. Tummy rock hard. Bloating is one of the side effects but thought it might have started to ease now. 

  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community

    I'm sorry to hear the problems you've had while taking tamoxifen.

    I don't have any experience with this drug but if you type 'tamoxifen' into the search bar in this group you'll find quite a lot of previous posts that mention it. You could have a look through these and respond to any of the more recent ones where you think the poster might be able to help further.

    When you have a minute it would be useful if 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 'Edit 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.
