Tamoxifen - 5mg - side effects?

Hello aj456,

I'm now on the low dose 'Baby Tam' and getting on very well.

After a year of nasty side effects that caused the need for further surgery & then a recurrence after stopping the tamoxifen, the 5mg is my only option. 

I've been on it 12 weeks now and apart from needing to manage fatigue & using exercise to control insomnia & joint issues, I haven't got any complaints. I've finally got my life back after 2 long years! 

I recommend you give it a try, some is always better than none. 

Give it a try. You really don't want that cancer back or to metastasise.  You may experience no side effects at all. If you do get any side effects tell your oncologist and they will help you manage it or change your meds.
