Thank you all for your assistance and comments. It is very helpful. Narelle asked about my side effects: Waking up at night. Although I would read and go back to sleep it was accumulative. Tired. Irritability. Sometimes nausea and headaches. Much more forgetful. My mood was flat. As a single parent of teenage boys I do not have a lot of assistance. I stopped all alcohol, caffeine drinks and chocolate to try counteract the medication.You may be absolutely fine on it! My oncologist says that there is evidence to show that accupuncture is helpful.
Tamoxifen is for pre-menopausal women. I am 51 so should my periods stop soon then I can go onto the aromastase inhibitors. Does anyone have any experience with these?
