I went for my annual checkup this past Monday, April 22 My lab work showed BUN and Creatinine elevated along with a low filtration rate and elevated A1c This is an indication of kidney function They have always been normal I’m on Tamoxifen 5 mg daily thats all I can tolerate for the past several months I was diagnosed with Invasive ductal carcinoma and had a partial mastectomy no radiation in February 2023
Now I’m wondering on top of all the side effects of this drug if I’m going to end up a diabetic too The kidney's help filter drugs
Has anyone on Tamoxifen had these issues I’m 82
Thanks for any input

Hi
If you can tolerate 5 mg you're amazing but I decided for my sanity and health I'm not taking that medication. I have done a lot of research on it.
