Hi Kerr Kerr
I must say that I was feeling really scared at the thought of taking Tamoxifen in the beginning as everything I read made me worry.
I was already suffering from severe pain in my joints from the Taxol so I put it off for a little longer than I should have. I then spoke with my Breast Care Nurse and then vented all my concerns and she listended and I felt so much better.
I have no been taking my Tamoxifen and have had no problems. My preference though is to take it in the morning but that's what works for me.

Good Luck with it all.
