Just took my first little white pill

Well the day finally arrived and I took my little white Tamoxifen pill this morning.

I was terribly nervous and anxious and I waited for a bomb to drop with side effects....weird I know!

I went through Chemo with relative ease, then radiation knocked me a bit with severe burns and pain but this white pill was the ultimate monster to me.

But Im now a 'Tamox Girl' like so many of you out there and I'm going to cross everything that I dont have any side effects and if I do - I pray they are minimal!

Hope you are all well.

    Hi Jodie, isn't it strange how we fear this after everything else.I think it's because it's for so long.I am definitely tired of the hot flushes, but that's about it, so I'm not complaining. I am about to have my first denosumab needle for my osteo, and I am VERY worried about it, even more than the Tamoxifen. But I know I will b ok, just have to DO IT! :) Stay in touch Jodie and let us know how u go. Cheers Robyn xxx
