Tamoxifen & Breast Cancer
Fellow breast cancer survivors beware of Tamoxifen! I have just found out that Tamoxifen Increases your chances of getting a stronger and more deadly form of endometerial cancer by 50%! I'm so angry at my Doctors for telling me that because I had breast cancer I had an increased (30 to 50%) higher chance of getting uterine cancer. They didn't bother to tell me the percentage increased due to the Tamoxifen. All they told me about this drug is that it would decrease my chances of the breast cancer returning by 35 to 40%. Thank God I had so many issues with the Tamoxifen that after one year I made them switch me to Arimadex over all their objections that it would screw up their statistics. I'm not making this up. Please research this drug beyond the standard B,S. we have been being fed. Our Doctors know about this too. It's not too late to switch. For every year you are on this drug your chances for the other cancer go up ten fold! Good Luck ladies. I'm in the process of getting diagnosed for endometrial cancer right now, this is how I found out about this. My new Doctors let it slip out accidently.
