is this normal?

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I don't have any personal experience with taking tamoxifen so I can't tell you if what you're experiencing is normal or not.

    The online community is divided up into different cancer specific forums where you can ask questions, share experiences and get support. As you haven't said what cancer you're being treated for you could take a look through this list to choose the appropriate forum. Alternatively, if you let me know what type of cancer you have I can give you a direct link.

    Once you've joined a forum, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
