Tomoxifen
Hi,
I am now just doing herceptin alone every third week and just started on tomoxifen . i still have muscle aches like I did when I was getting all four chemo meds. But today I have a sore throat and don't know if I'm getting sick or if tomoxifen or herceptin would cause sore throat. I read they could but didn't know if anyone has experienced this. I start radiation Monday so hope I'm not getting sick. This is day two of tomoxifen. Any info would be great. Thank you..

Hi Mary
i have been onHi Mary
i have been on tamoxifin for 7 months and have had minimal side effects- "creaking" bones-
it takes a while for chemo to leave your body- but worth mentioning to your Dr. if the symptoms continue-
Good luck with radition-

Tamoxifen
I took Tamoxifen for 5 years with my first round of Breast cancer when I was 44. I had some acheness that pretty much went away over time. I developed hot flashes, but my oncologist put me on a low dose of Effexor, and that did away with them. I didn't have radiation that time around, so don't know about that, but I'm about to start radiation in the next week or two. I'm doing Herceptin every three weeks, and I take Letrozole (aromatase inhibitor) daily. I don't expect any problems with that but will know more when I meet with the radiation oncologist on Monday.
