I have been on it for a year, and although I am thankful that it decreases the probability of recurrence, I don't understand why is there no other option than Tamoxifen when the patients have hormone-positive BRCA? Why don't scientists try to develop other medicines with fewer side effects? Very frequently we hear developments related to cancer drugs and treatments but not related to hormone-positive BRCA, why is it so? I wish everyone a merry Christmas and a happy and healthy and joyful year.

Please Google Elyn Jacobs and tamoxifen before you start that. 🙏 Most women can't tolerate tamoxifen and it's a known carcinogen. She is a holistic health coach who had breast cancer herself. She has a wealth of information. I feel bad for women who are feared into making rash decisions because they're scared. The cancer world is good at laying the fear on thick. Do you're own research... please. Radiation and chemo do not kill cancer stem cells. These cells break away from the primary tumor and circulate in your blood. These are the soldiers that the cancer tumors recruite. I've learned a lot but not from conventional doctors. Best wishes to you.

I've been on tamoxifen for 7 months now and have managed to escape any side effects - however, I'm now struggling with the eyesight in one eye so am under investigation at UHS for optical nerve swelling, which according to the vast list of possible side effects is rare (but it would just be my luck!)

I took tamoxifen over 20 years ago, and the v. dryness from having taken it, has really affected my life. I have tried things like Mona Lisa touch laser treatment, and the O shot, but neither worked. I was diagnosed at age 42, and was on Tamoxiphen for the 5 years, and wish I had not taken it. I also have hair loss. it was a tough decision to decide whether to take it or not.

My Mom took tamoxifen for 5 years and you wouldn't have known she had cancer...then they told her you can''t take it any more ,five years had passed..so they put her on a drug called megace...she started getting hot flashes and weak and her womb filled with blood and she ended up in the hospital..the bleeding stopped as soon as her womb emptied..but she went downhill from there so fast and they drugged her so much, we couldn't speak to her..I truly believe if they had left her alone on the tamoxifen she would have lived another 5 years or more.

Hi..I live in BC Canada so I'm not sure if some medical names are the same as where you live. I have stage 4 lobular carcinoma, diagnosed in May 2022. In November 2022 I was having breathing problems but the regular CT with contrast and bone scans didn't show anything going on. Finally, in February 2023, the oncologist sent me for a special scan of just my lungs. It showed a bunch of small blood clots in my right lung. Actually, before the breathing issues, my legs and feet were swelling up a lot for a few months. I had an ultrasound and a scan on my legs. No clots were seen. At the beginning of my diagnosis, I had 5 treatments of radiation and 9 treatments of paclitaxel and Letrozole once a day. When in the hospital for the blood clots the doctor took me off letrozole thinking that could be one of the causes of the clots. Now the doctor says I'm protected from blood clots since I'm taking a blood thinner every day and wants me to take tamoxifen. I haven't started taking it yet because I'm scared to. What is your opinion? Do you think it's safe to take once you've had a blood clot diagnosis. Thank you in advance for taking the time yo answer me.

Some women do gain weight as a consequence of the menopause changing your metabolism. I did and I was fit and active. Things that can help are eating more protein - 30-40g per meal and having less carbs with your evening meal, and adding in weight training as muscle burns more calories

Hey doc can you explain why you recommend fruits and veggie for cancer when you know that the body will turn that all into sugar and that sugar will go directly to feeding and spreading the cancer? I hear Oncology is having major success with curing cancer using the Carnivore/fasting protocols. I know that's not the name they call it, but that what it is. Also if I remember right there is 3 types of estrogen in the body. The one your referring to is caused by excess amounts of carbs that the body can't clear properly cuz the body has to many toxins to deal with so it stores it. I think if people stopped putting the sugar, the carbs, the junk foods, over processed food, and yes fruits and veggie, in their mouths they would find they do much better. Also can you point me to the research paper that proves eating veggie and fruits is better to eat. I've been looking but still not found any meaningful research. I did find something where they asked people over years what they ate on Monday, June 5, 2022? But don't think that is very good science to rely on since it relied on people guessing what they ate. So I'd really like the research to read that your promoting to eat veggie and fruit to help with cancer/illness. Would be great to read how they preformed the research and what all the out comes are. My experience is veggie and fruit are a terrible source of nutrients, not to mention almost every single plant we eat from has over 100 carcinogens in what we eating. Why is it safe to eat carcinogens but not okay to inhale them? People get a lot more carcinogens eating the veggies then if they inhaled, considering the amount of veggies people consume. Another person just trying to weed my way through the research to get healthy!

Thank you, Dr! Hot flushes are a real nightmare, though.

Yes healthy lifestyle including diet. Sorry Dr Liz, you are not qualified to make any recommendations of health. That is not what you are trained to do. Vitamin D deficiency is a huge problem, even with breast cancer risk. Eating more vegetables and fruits will not get you vitamin d. You don’t realize that you are giving bad advice to people and can have serious negative effects. Please do some in depth studies before making such a dangerous health advice.
