Taking a Lower Dose of Tamoxifen?

Here is some great questions and a few answers for us or…… maybe our daughter and granddaughters. There is two threads I am posting this podcast.

I started on 20 mg Tamoxifen and was extremely concerned about endometrial cancer since my mother died of that. I’m very low risk 90/10 over 10years. But ER positive so I said I give it a try. After 7 months I went to 10mg on my own and feel way better.

In 2012, my dosage after L mastectomy, was 20mg, which I took for 27 mo ( was to be for 5 years), but I had so much pain, muscular and joint, that I stopped taking it ! My hematologist disagreed, but said I’d probably had the benefit from it in 27 months. I’d already had 2 knees and 1 hip replaced, so I KNEW joint pain! @hjtkyhl

How are you doing so far with tamoxifen 10 mg?

What symptoms went away when you decreased from 20 to 10???

yes. I am on 5 mg. no issues yet in 4 months.
