One thing I forgot to ask at a recent appointment is do the side effects go after the 5 years of taking the tablet. I had swollen feet and legs over the summer and was told to come off the tamoxifen while I was checked for blood clots. Luckily it wasn't that. I am now taking the tamoxifen again but muscle weakness is annoying me, hot flushes and generally feeling not well. I have 2 more years to go on the tamoxifen but wondered if the muscle weakness will be permanent. I'm assuming the hot flushes will end. My legs aren't swollen now which is a bonus and was maybe to do with the hot weather.
I have tried Letrozole to start with but the muscle weakness with that was so bad I could hardly walk. I don't think there are any other options
