  • Hi  and welcome to the chat group.

    You may find others with the same issue in this chat group, but it might be useful for you to put your post also in the breast cancer group, which I see you’ve already joined. 

    Here in this general chat group we are all either patients (with various cancers) or carers but we won’t all have experience of Tamoxifen or breast cancer. Posting in the breast cancer group will mean you’ll be more likely to get some relevant replies.

  • Thank you Sarah I will. Going to take me a while to get use to posting.

  • Hi  

    It can get a bit of getting used to how the forum works, but I see you’ve been able to post in the breast cancer group.

    If there’s anything about the forum you struggle with or need help with, please just ask and one of us will be able to keep you right.
