Hey ladies. I have been on tamoxifen for 11 months now. Before i started i asked my oncologist about side effects and she gave me some literature so did the chemist. The obvious one is hot flushes but from memory higher risk of uterine cancer and blood clots than general population. Please dont quote me on this though as i am still suffering from chemo brain and get things wrong on occasion!! My oncologist did blood work last visit to check hormone levels for possible switch to arimdex. She gave me a booklet on this drug which explains all side effects..which i believe is predominantly aches and pains. I would suggest having a chat to your oncologist to get more info so that you have made an informed decision before you start.
Take care ????
