Tamoxifen

I thinks it’s normal to be scared I’ve nearly been on them a year and I feel fine. Tiredness has been my only gripe. 

Thanks for some reassurance. 

Hi Twiglet , I was on Letrozole for the first three years post mx, and then swapped to Tamoxifen as I’m supposedly low risk. But already had osteoporosis prior to bc. 

It’s ok, honestly! Yes hot flushes are a pest, as is the very slight concern about DVTs but I have only had the flushes, oh and foot cramps a bit.

I took it for 6 weeks before moving on to Letrozole and apart from being a bit warm at night I didn’t notice I was on it. 

Thank you so much!x

Thanks . I know everyone is different , but to hear a positive story is great.x

I cried the day before and the day of taking it for the first time - I was so anxious and overwhelmed at the thought of 10 years of it. But I’ve been on it for 5 weeks now and don’t even think about it any more - apart from the odd hot flush and muscle ache it’s been fine so far and the benefits far outweigh the risks xx

I have had a mastectomy and reconstruction and been told by consultant to take Tamoxifen I am starting tablets on Monday feeling anxious as there are many aide affects listed on this. Will see how it goes.

Thanks. Good to hear.  I'm glad it's normal to feel so anxious

Good luck. I wish you all the best.
