Tamoxifen - when did your side effects start?
Hiya there :) Just curious as to when everyone's side effects began after starting tamoxifen? I'm one month in, and cautiously waking each day expecting the worst to begin! x

Hi @CatRM,
I am 6 weeks into my second run of Tamoxifen. I was on it straight after treatment for 2 years before having ovaries removed and changing to Letrozole for just over 3 years. When my body started to really struggle on Letrozole, my onc changed me back to Tamoxifen.
I never had any major side effects on Tamoxifen the first time and so far so good with it this time too. We are all different and for me it seems my body tolerates Tamoxifen quite well. I am hoping that I can stay on Tamoxifen for another 4 1/2 years to get to the 10 year mark for anti-hormone therapy.
I hope you continue to find your body is ok on Tamoxifen too. Take care.
