Does Tamoxifen worry me! The side effects are quite bothersome, in my case. Is it really as effective as the oncologist claims in preventing the cancer from coming back?

The user asked if Tamoxifen is really as effective as the oncologist claims in preventing the recurrence of cancer. Tamoxifen has been shown to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence by approximately 39% compared to not taking it at all. This is why oncologists often recommend its use for certain types of cancer. It is important to discuss any bothersome side effects with a healthcare provider to find appropriate solutions.
