    This drug caused my sister to loose a piece of her jaw bone. Wasn't diagnosed for over a year until she lost her teeth. Would be helpful to mention it as a side effect.

    What about the side effect of vision loss called Tamoxifen Retinopathy? The one no one is talking about.

    I wish he’d stop only using the word women. I’m a 39 year old male in my 2nd year of tamoxifen. It sucks.

      Before you ever let anyone dose you with so-called chemo”therapy” drugs, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take the time to fully research the substance and what you can expect from taking such substance. This includes reading the entire drug insert which will go over the common “side effects” (effects), but most importantly, you really want to get a good grasp of understanding what the extent of the positive impact chemo drugs might have on you in your particular situation. More often than not, people are led to believe that chemotherapy is the best choice to combat cancer, (because it’s what the doctors tell them with such confidence), but often the reality is that chemo”therapeutics” Will do way more harm than any benefit, and this is expected when you consider what these drugs actually are: they are highly carcinogenic cancer-causing poisons that do not discriminate against healthy cells and only go after so-called cancer cells/ nope, rather, they indiscriminately slaughter your entire human system, including ironically your immune system which is the only thing that can actually heal you at the end of the day… Ask your doctor to give you the hard data and ask what you can realistically expect the benefits will be from such a treatment. Also ask them if they would take the treatment themselves if they were in your shoes. They’ll hate that question, they’ll squirm, but if they’re honest they’ll tell you hell no they would never take chemotherapy. They know it’s only 2% effective at five-year survival disease free rate and that’s using their own skewed numbers.... i’ve done hours and hours of research and honestly the only conclusion I can substantiate is that chemotherapy is a sick fucking joke and is responsible for killing people before the cancer does. That sadly is the current fate of cancer treatment in the US :-(. PS: chemotherapy drugs are the only class of drugs where doctors / oncologists get a direct kickback from the drug company for prescribing it. In all other cases of medicine, that is illegal because it’s an obvious conflict of interest. Not so in oncology… Your doctor (drug dealer) is profiting directly off the number of chemo drugs he / she prescribes. What a sick system… No winder why1 in 2 Americans has cancer or will have cancer in their lifetimes, why in gods name would we have any faith still in MD pharmaceutical based allopathic reductionistic medicine?? Think for yourselves folks. Taking a nerve gas poison that is highly carcinogenic makes little sense when you’re trying to rid your body of cancer… But hey who knows, I’m just a lay person… I have no Harvard medical degree (thank God). I wish you the best!!!
