I am currently taking tamoxifen as a chemo prevention and wonder how anyone else has coped with taking it.  Any suggestions about managing the side effects. 

Looking forward to your hearing your expereinces

    Hiya

    I started tamoxifen on Monday , taking in the morning . I have been so tired ( not sure if it's the meds or radiotherapy which also stated Monday or the chemo which ended 3 weeks ago !!) I am also sweating soooo much and drinking lots . I'm glad I have found this page as I may pick up some helpful tips plus it's good to know I am not alone 

    Xx

    Hi there. I've been on tamoxifen for a year now and the night sweats have calmed down but because I'm 42 and having a normal menstrual cycle they seem to get worse around ovulation time of cycle and just before a period.
