And the vision, it depends on what that is from. If it's from cataracts, retinal changes, it depends on the etiology or what the cause of the visual problems were. I did participate in the BCPT, or the P-1 prevention trial, but the majority of the people are on tamoxifen. So, there are probably a number of women out there who aren't having a statistical difference between the weight gain, but my patients all complain of weight gain. So I was surprised at that.
Tamoxifen often does get a bad rep for a number of things.
Every side effect that happens sometimes when women are on tamoxifen is felt due to the tamoxifen, and I tell my patients, you're still going to get everything else that other people get. You're getting older, these things are going to happen. You're going to get colds, you're going to get flus, you're going to get all these other things. And it's not just the tamoxifen because you're feeling poorly at certain times. But you know, at this age, several patients have told me it might be due to the tamoxifen, not taking into account their age at that point.
