Men with breast cancer: Your experience wth hormonal therapy?

My husband had breast cancer about 6 1/2 years ago. Had mastectomy, no chemo or radiation. Estrogen positive. No lymph nodes involved. He took tamoxifen for 6 years then noticed the beginning of a blood clot in one of his legs so he stopped. Doing really well 😊 joints ached the first year but he was working full time. He is a family practice doctor and mostly retired. Walks a lot, stretches a little cycling. One day at a time! Good luck to you!

I am 83 and have been taking tamoxifen for almost 2 years. Had mastectomy, 3 positive lymph nodes and 16 proton radiation treatments. I am ER+. I garden and walk briskly most days. What were the specific signs and symptoms that he noticed regarding the formation of a blood clot. I was told to wear compression socks when riding long distances and to stop driving after 2 hours and walk for a few minutes. I'd like to know what to look for. Thanks. Glad he is doing well.
