Deebee, I agree! There must be enough males with BC to conduct a study! I have been taking tamoxifen for 3 years. Have occasional bad headaches and use Esgic Plus which works! Exercise every day, wear support hose on long drives and fight late afternoon fatigue with a nap. Hope you stay well and vertical. I'll be 85 shortly. Hope the director of this group chat reads our plea.

Hi @dick61 and @deebee41, here are some research papers specifically about men and tamoxifen:
- Management of Male Breast Cancer: ASCO Guideline https://ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO.19.03120
- Survival benefit of tamoxifen in male breast cancer: prospective cohort analysis https://www.nature.com/articles/s41416-020-0857-z
- Tamoxifen in men: a review of adverse events https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27152880/

There is earlier research as well that establish tamoxifen as safe and effective in men with breast cancer.
