Hi Sandra,
I was took Tamoxifen for 5 years I did not suffer anxiety or any weight gain. I did however get a bit cranky and have hot flushes but it all eventually settled down. It is perfectly normal to feel a little scared and worried. You are after all human.. It's the thought of the dreaded unknown but once you have started Tamoxifen and seeing how it affects you it won't seem so scary. And if you do start getting some side effects that are worrying you talk to your gp or oncologist everyone is different so what worked for my might not for you. But it will be fine I'm sure. If you don't mind me asking were you estrogen positive was just wondering if you were given the option of 5 or 10 years on Tamoxifen..
Cheers.
