Re: Weight Gain, No loss - Due to Tamoxifen?
So I am revisiting my post from almost three years ago and not one pound lost! Actually, 5 pound gain unfortunately 
Love reading everyone's responses again and it convinces me that it is indeed Tamoxifen. Bad news is I have another 5 years on it or if I hit menopause (which I have been going through for over 4 years), then possibly another AI. I am going to try and see if I can get Metformin prescribed - thanks for the recommendation!
I am having a hysterectomy with ovary removal soon. I was wondering if this will help on weight loss? I am so hoping it's not going to go the other way with more weight gain!
Blessings to all,
Jessica
