I am wondering if the rash that I have on my stomach and back can be from the drug Tamoxifen. Does anyone else have this problem?

    No Tamox for me
    I've been on Femara/letrozole for almost 3 yrs - no rashes. Is it a painful rash? It's not unusual to develope Shingles after chemo/surgery/rads. There are many possibilities so check with your Drs.

    My doc told me that there is a chance of clots with Tomoxifen but it is low.
