Hi everyone,
just joined this group. I have been taking Tamoxifen for 8 years following breast cancer, chemo and radiotherapy, but just recently side effects have been awful - so very tired all of the time, not sleeping, headaches and hot flushes. I'm 62 and had a hysterectomy 9months ago, not sure if this has had any bearing. Recent blood test was normal so just asking if anyone has any good ideas to help?
Thanks everyone...look forward to hearing from you.

I'd be interested on this topic too. Due to start in a couple of weeks when sorted prescription but the side effects sound awful. I appreciate they have to tell you and not all of us will have reactions but I'm more worried about the size of the pills as have trouble swallowing pills.
