Hi,
Follow up patient with Neuropsychiatrist as patient may be a case of dementia. So work for dementia profile needed and also do investigation such as MRI to rule out organic cause if any. Memory loss does not seem to be relate with Tamoxifen tablets.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Padmsinha Sakhare, General & Family Physician
