Hi Lisa
I've been on Tamoxifen since May last year. I have noticed stiff joints first up in the morning and mild hot flushes but nothing I can't deal with. I eat a plant based diet, not vegetarian but minimal meat, and I buy the organic option whenever available. I make myself a green smoothie every morning, investing in a high powered blender was really worth it to make things like raw broccoli and cabbage palatable!! I walk every day very briskly for at least 40 minutes. I enjoy a glass of red each night with dinner, measuring it out at 100mls because I know if I didn't the glasses would get larger over time. Dark chocolate is also a daily indulgence. I can justify the wine & chocolate because they're full of antioxidants :-)
I'm about 56kg so fortunately I don't think being on the smaller is is going to lead to increased side effects. I hope everything goes smoothly for you!!
All the very best, Jane
