Nervous to start tamoxifen

Hi Kerr Kerr,

i was terrified about taking Tamoxifen but I have been taking it for 3 weeks now and have not noticed any side effects. My joint aches seem to be lessening as I am recovering from chemo. I have started taking glucosamine for my joints but that is for the long term. My mother swears by a tablespoon of honey at night for sore restless legs so I do that too, there is wisdom in old wives remedies. I am on my second week of radiation, after chemo it is a walk in the park, the silicon bandages are great at preventing skin damage. So all in all the treatments that I were afraid of are not too bad and do not effect my functioning. I am just tired in the afternoons. A lot of normally menopausal women have terrible symptoms too. We just have to work out what is best for ourselves be excepting and not put too much pressure on ourselves. I am finding mindfulness meditation beneficial in calming me down and excepting my treatment. I also organize little treats for myself.

i hope you find your way though this treatment and remain strong and well.

all the best

Kim
