Does Tamoxifen Cause Adverse Side Effects In The Long Run?
I have been on tamoxifen since February 2013 my dr changed me to Aromasin after 5 weeks it started making my legs hurt and made it hard to walk and got worse everyday. I talked to dr, he didn t like the idea of taking me off of Aromasin. I went back to tamoxifen and things went back to normal after a few weeks. What is the disadvantage of staying in tamoxifen?

Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
I have read and understood your concern
I wish to find out the reason for which you were prescribed this drug. Tamoxifen blocks the actions of estrogen, a female hormone and may be used to treat some types of breast cancer.The drug has side effects but the long term benefits will always pay off.I will advise you take as prescribed by your Doctor.
Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns
Wish you good health
