Tamoxifan and LDN - Question

[Guest guest]

Can someone explain how I should handle this situation? I think I

need more info. I started Tamoxifan approx 2 wks ago. I read that LDN

and tamox are contraindicated; that LDN doesn't work on those who

have been treated w/tamox. I'm freaking now because I want/need the

LDN more than Tamox. If I stop the tamox now (and rely on mammos,

etc) and start LDN hopefully within the month,is there a possibility

it could still have good results?

Thanks so much in advance.

Thanks Sandy. I've had a hysterectomy (1/04) but went through

Novantrone induced menopause a year ago. (I'm 48). I have

osteoporosis of the hips (from steroids) so the aromatese inhibitors

were out. I'm taking Fosamax for the osteop. Hopefully, my oncologist

will either know how to approach this or will be talking to Bihari in

the relatively near future....
