I had breast cancer after the chemo and radiation I took arimadex for 2 years and tamoxifen for 1year?
What do I take if I am allergic to both of them?

Talk to your oncologist, and look on http://www.after-cancer.com for information about different, medically proven products and ways of dealing with side effects.
Good luck – if you are being treated in UK then we are very bad at dealing with side effects here – that was why this website was set up, to say how other countries, particularly France, deal very efficiently and effectively with side effects.

What does your onologist say?
They both have side effects and make me feel pretty bleh.
I talked to my oncologist about not taking either and had it explained that it was my choice but how it would effect my risk of recurrance, I opted for the side effects, but it was a close call.
Your oncologist will know how these medications affect your risk, no-one else does.
I was introduced to these 100% organic beverages and has a herb name ganoderma or reishi. I really has done great things for my body. It also help a lot of my close family members as well with health problems such high blood pressure and diabetes. I recommend to do your own due diligence on this alternative. You be amazed what you’ll read! Here’s a online store that provide the beverages that you will enjoy.

Ganoderma and cancer
Ganoderma belongs to the Polyporaceae group of the Fungi family – Reishi and some formulas contain other mushrooms.
Ganoderma works in the treatment of cancer because it helps cleanse the body from toxins and it helps strengthen the immune system. It enhances liver detoxification, thus improving liver function and stimulating the regeneration of liver cells – making it a very important supplement for those who have liver cancer.
The anti-cancer agents in Ganoderma are the polysaccharides and Germanium. The polyshaccharide fraction of Ganoderma is largely responsible for its anti-tumor efficacy. Indications for Ganoderma use in cancer include supplementation a) to reduce side-effects during chemotherapy or radiotherapy, b) to prolonging survival and minimize metastasis, c) to improve quality of life, and d) to prevent occurrence or recurrence.
Ganoderma can be used as a supplement during chemotherapy or radiotherapy to reduce side-effects such as fatigue, loss of appetite, hair loss, bone marrow suppression and risk of infection. It can also reduce the toxic and side effects and mitigate the pains during chemotherapy and radiotherapy, in particular to cancer patients at terminal stages for prolonging their lives and improving their living quality.

It enhances and helps regulate the immune and endocrine system, prevent tumors, improving the circulation and eliminating harmful free radicals.
Inhibits DNA synthesis of the cancer cells, destroys the terminal enzyme activity of the tumor cells, promotes macrophages and regulates T and B lymphocytes, thus restraining the spread of cancer cells.
It can also reduce the toxic and side effects and mitigate the pains during chemotherapy and radiotherapy
