Anyone had nausea as a side effect of tamoxifen? What helps?

Well Tamoxifen was the original SERM developed to coat the estrogen receptors so that no cells/cancer cells can stick to the other cells thereby preventing tumor growth and formation. The Aromatase Inhibitors have a completely different method of action which is lowering your estrogen levels to almost undetectable levels (and significantly increasing testosterone levels) which for me made my personality completely change so I'm relieved that I can tolerate tamoxifen. I know the AI's are the silver bullet but I had particularly toxic reactions to them.
I also have intermittent sensations of a bladder infection with the tamoxifen but I don't have a bladder infection so I think it's just a side effect that is not life threatening!
I don't know what to say about the polyps. Are they in your bladder or breasts?
Aunty Oakley is totally right about all she said. It's so important that we give ourselves a break. I have a C Suite Executive position at a health care non profit and my memory is better now on Tamoxifen, but still experiencing some short term memory loss so I also am just going with it, and moving forward. If I need to retire, then I will. It's all about my health now!
I wish you the absolute best!

Great thanks for your such an informative respond.
First of all, Perhaps, because I am older, my prognoses are different, though I have Er/Pr positive, Her/2 negative , no lymph involved (similar to yours)
Had Lumpectomy - no chemo and
No radiation.
As I mentioned l haven’t get any negative effect from Tamoxifen so far for 4 month, and Oncologist says, that Tamoxifen Is the best for me.
What is bothered me, that Oncotype DX test isn’t performing here.
And how can we see the result of
treatment’s.
I do make CBC blood test - WBC and RBC.
I’ve learned that in saliva and in the urine test can be noticed the cancers signs and/or improvement.
My polyp,perhaps, was in the endometrial before. Will follow!
I do believe In holistic, dietary, organic and supplements help.
About Mistletoe - it’s immune booster injection that given to me by holistic doctors and I am doing myself.
People who even had higher cancer grade used it and said have noticed improvement.
Different type of Mistletoe produced in Germany and do prescribed by conventional doctors in Europe.
In Canada only through holistic doctors.
By all means, we should take every possible avenue to find the results.
May Faith, Hope and Love be your treasure for Years to come .
