I'm glad that you have found the network has helped you through your treatment.
I completed my chemo and then my radiotherapy in November and have been on Tamoxifen for 4 months. I was really anxious at first but have honestly had very few side effects. I did have some nausea for the first couple of days but that soon settled. I have found regular exercise seems to counteract most of the usual side effects that can effect your everyday life. I have mild hot flushes but find these are mostly when I get stressed.
I take my tamoxifen at night with dinner and a whole glass of water. Sometimes this can mean that you sleep through any effects. It works for me so I hope that you find it ok too. Take care. Deanne xxx
