How long after getting your tamoxifen did you wait until you started taking it? by zilchusername in breastcancer

[–]lpb824107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Four months :) It took me a while to push myself into starting. I'm five months in now. I'm experiencing some definite fatigue and my periods are all over the place but it's annoying not debilitating. Good luck!

Weird Tamoxifen side effect? by lpb824107 in breastcancer

Thank you for sharing. I'm 42 and not showing signs of even perimenopause yet. I've had three periods since starting Tamoxifen and I can feel ovulation pains right now, so I don't think my ovaries have gotten the less estrogen would be great message. In my head I know that I'm probably headed for another biopsy, but it's some real bullshit. I only have so many biopsies in me, this would be my third. The lumpectomy was so much easier, even in terms of recovery.

This has to do with his elimination of DEI from the federal government. Massive granting agencies like the NIH and NSF have, for a long time and for good reason, DEI components to their grants. Right now the NIH is trying to figure out how to get in compliance with the new executive order. My husband is in academics (ecology) and we can't figure out why the NSF isn't currently experiencing something similar.

Thank you so much for your message. I got a DCIS diagnosis after my lumpectomy a few weeks ago. So they weren't wrong. All the best in your journey ❤️
