Signs of Tamoxifen resistance...?
Anyone have resistance to Tamoxifen ?
I started tamoxifen 2 yrs ago and had to suddenly discontinue due to the hot flashes, achey joints... etc...
I started back on it 3 months ago and I have had no side effects (I feel like I did when I did not take it) AND to top it off, I got my period last week !
I thought your period ended with Tamoxifen use...
