Taking Tamoxifen long term, between 5-10 years after breast cancer.

Hello. I had most of the symptoms you had on Tamoxifen. I went down to 10 MG. but now I have gallstones, so I can't continue. I have osteoporosis, so only Tamoxifen is bone protective. There are clinical trials for 2 natural substances. One is Turkey Tail Mushrooms. 3 grams a day, ( at least). The other is Indole-3-Carbinol. I take 200mg, but may double it. J have no side effects, and I know they are being looked into by legitimate researchers. Turkey Tail has been used, by doctors in Japan, for decades. It is for you to read about these supplements, and make your own decisions, of course, but these seem to be the natural way to help keep breast cancer from returning.

Hello, your post was so very helpful. I took Tamoxifen for 3 years 20 years ago but stopped after I started having joint pain. I recently had another lumpectomy and the Dr. wants me to start on AI’s (which I’ve decided not to since I have osteoporosis) or Tamoxifen. I thought about going back on that for awhile to see how I do. I was also looking for natural ways to help prevent my breast cancer from returning. I feel like I am “rolling the dice”when it comes to all the side effects these drugs can cause. Do you have a website that you go to for information on what brands of Turkey Tail and Indole-3-Carbinol that are reputable. There are so many choices out there in the “vitamin world” and it can be so confusing.
