Tamoxifen From 5 To 10 Years.

I have been on tamoxifen for over 5 years. I was excited to go off of it from all the side effects. She now told me the new protocol is 10 years. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know WHY? I'd really like to go off it and am not sure what to do. I am perimenopausal, 49 years old and was diagnosed when I was 43 with stage 1 HER 2 positive.

Hello, Marian! How are you? I'm sorry that you're disappointed.

But yes, the new treatment regimen is 10 years, as they have discovered that there is a better response when taken longer, plus it helps prevent recurrence.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness and hair loss.

Has anyone else had their protocol changed recently?
