Starting Tamoxifin
I was diagnosed with a Grade 1 Interductal Carcinoma in March this year. I had the cancer and two lymph nodes removed and have just finished my 30 doses of radiation. I now have two things I thought ...
Hi Beck
I am 52 and was pre-menopausal when I got my BC last year. Have been on Tamoxifen for 4 months now and have found it ok except for the hot flashes and sweating. I take my tablet at night to avoid the headaches have only had a couple . I took Tonya's advice and took half a pill for about 2 weeks before I took a whole one and I also have the Genox brand.
So far I have put up with the new hot me will see how I go am seeing the Onco in Aug and will be 6 months so my body should have settled down (if it's going to) to see if I can have anything to help. It's worst at work mainly due to the temp they keep the hospital at and as i am doing active work (nursing).
Good luck don't look for the side effects you'll know if you get them!
