Alternative to Tamoxifen other than AI

OMG! What did they do about the growth in the uterus? The best thing you've said is great mood with the Anastrozole. I'm so angry and grouchy on this Tamoxifen. Not myself at all. I have not taken it for 11 days now and still have the side effects. My skin is on fire. I am 86. It's quite possible I won't live another five years with or without. If it is 50/50 chance and someone can show me the facts from a reliable study then I will take nothing. I've pretty much decided even though I have not heard back from oncologist after a page long email discussing my concerns and my miserable side effects. I didn't take prolia because the side effects can last for years after you quit taking it. Thanks for listening. And good luck to all.

The tamoxifen can cause mental health issues in some women and have to be stopped immediately.

Anxiety and anxiousness is a symptom.

Some lucky women have no side effects with the aromatase inhibitors.

Depending on how long you have been on Tamoxifen it can take two months to clear.
