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

Both the Lions Mane (neural transmitter) and Turkey Tail (immune booster) that I'm taking are made by Addictive Wellness and were prescribed to me by my naturopath. You can order them as a one time order or by subscription. I was also prescribed several homeopathic remedies (all of which compliment the Tamoxifen and/or don't get in the way of it's action on estrogen receptors). I use 1/2 teaspoon of each per day in my green tea (also a good thing according to my naturopath) for treating my hormone positive, HER 2 - breast cancer). Oh and I'm doing acupuncture also as a way of dealing with any aches and pains or emotional issues (none with Tamoxifen) and doing massage weekly to help relaxation.

Again I'm doing these supplements and huge dietary changes in addition to the Tamoxifen. I feel better than I have all year now as a result of the dietary, supplement changes and stopping AI's and trying Tamoxifen! Now I'm not "trying" the tamoxifen, I'm taking the Tamoxifen as it's working for me!

Thank you so much! Helps to know a brand as there are several and want to pick a good one that is safe.

Also as part of my dietary change to an alkaline diet, I have incorporated a juice concoction that throws me into alkalinity with Whole Lemons, Whole Ginger, a titch (small amount) of cayenne and Turmeric which is also showing promise for those with cancer. None of these ingredients get in the way of my Tamoxifen! And I'm taking a baby aspirin out of an abundance of caution to prevent blood clots. I'm not prone to blood clots but just as a practical matter am doing this so I feel safer!

I bought Turkey Tail by Toniiq on Amazon.

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 .

What is in Lions Mane?

@katehanni has taken this, I believe she would be best able to answer more specifically. I understand that it is a mushroom that is used as a complimentary or alternative therapy.

It's a "mycomedicinal" mushroom. (no psychoactive effects) just immune boosting and neural repair. Turkey Tail is also an immune booster and prescribed in Asia to every cancer patient (in addition to radiation, chemo, adjunctive therapy.

As always, let your cancer team know if you are interested in complementary therapies and which supplements you are taking to ensure they won't interfere with your cancer treatments.

Hello ladies! I just completed 13 months of tamoxifen. I was premenopausal when I started on it, but within 8 months (at age 47) I had completely lost my period; I also had all the symptoms of menopause - the hot flushes, dryness, fatigue, night sweats. However, 3 months after my period had stopped I had an issue with a huge ovarian cyst that caused extreme pain for a while. This issue resolved on its own, but now (after 5 months with no menstrual period) I had a massive bleeding episode...lots and lots of blood, no pain and no clots, but lots of brown and dark red blood. Went to my OBGYN and they decided to biopsy my endometrium. I just can't believe everything that keeps popping up....has anyone gone through something similar while on Tamoxifen? What was the outcome? Thank you for any light you can share with me.
