I guess my concern is am I going to feeling sick/nausea during the day as I work with NDIS clients in the community everyday and don't have alot of leave due to only being with the company for a short time.
Thank you again for your support.
HonuKaha26 I’m glad to hear that there’s been discussion about starting the Tamoxifen (I am an over-worrier at times!).
As for nausea or feeling sick, it’s one of those unknowns. I felt a little queasy a few times but whether that was Tamoxifen or something else was impossible to tell. I have a little box of salty crackers and nuts to nibble on at work which was sufficient to help me feel better.
If you do find you’re experiencing side effects I’ve heard it can help to change the time of day you take the medication.
