Hello ladies,
I've been on Tamoxifen now for 2 years (3 to go and counting!!!). Chemo put me into early menopause (along with chemo brain), and also had 6 weeks of radiation treatment. Tamoxifen side effects are the pits, especially the hot flushes/night sweats. My breast care nurse mentioned that I'm now most likely able to change medication but when I mentioned this to my oncologist, he said there is no guarantee that I won't get the same side effects!! I've recently joined a gym to get fit and lose a bit of weight (courtesy of chemo/tamoxifen), and am also slowly but surely eating alot healthier. I'm hoping that this lifestyle change will make a big different in the side effects and the way I feel about myself.
