Stroke after tamoxifen

[Juls]

Hi Everyone,

Oh! - didn't know about stroke risk, but did know about blood clot risk with Tamoxifen.

I was given Tamoxifen 5 years ago without any discussion. I checked side effects & noticed blood clot risk so called my nurse to say I had family history of blood clots & I wasn't keen on taking it. Can't say they were very pleased with me questioning it. Eventually Doctor agreed to give me Femara instead.

Jessica-
I'm now on Kadcyla - it reduces potassium & magnesium in body & this can cause palpitations/irregular heartbeats. I'm sure AI's can do this as well? As you say always something!
