I was prescribed 20 mgs of Tamoxifin to start taking the day after I finished radiation on 2/18/25. I had a lumpectomy, small 0.9 cm but had 3 different cancers. DCIS, Lobular In Situ and IDC-estrogen/progesterone--pretty unheard of to have 3. Had tumor removed, did 21 radiation treatments. Did fine, I thought. So, three days later after taking the Tamoxifin was at the emergency room as I was so constipated. ER did nothing, sent me home with suppositories. Four days later I was bleeding, ended up with hemorroids and a deep fisher, That was 2/22/25. It is now 4/29/2025 still dealing with the fissure and now scheduled for surgery 5/9 - hopefully to fix fissure. My system just could not handle. My cancer doctor wants me to start it again, even if lower dose, but I am to scared to try. It has been a long painful experience, I do have a pre-existing issue as I take Linzess, guessing that was the problem. They don't know and any other medications have more side effects.

So I guess I will be taking my chances of the cancer coming back, but hopefully will get this fixed and at least I will have a life again for whatever time. I am pretty healthy otherwise. I am 74 so anytime left will enjoy!
