HI Debbie
So pleased to hear your results are so good it can only get better from here! I started tamoxifen about a month ago and am happy to say nothing much has happened to me. I already had hot flushes from the chemo induced menopause and the flushes or flashes as I like to call them have not really got worse. I took a tip from a blog I read here and took half a tablet for 2 weeks before I took the full dose the oncologist was ok with that. It may have eased me into it better ! Also the oncologist recommended taking the tablet at night she said that sometimes you can get headaches and it would be better to have it in my sleep!! I haven't had any headaches yet.
Glad to hear you have a McGrath nurse I can't believe the breast nurse at the clinic has never responded. Support groups are great for being able to talk about everything you feel you can't always say at home, as they know exactly how you feel, what you've been through. I took a while to do this and am enjoying the new friends I have made.
Good luck for the week ahead and hope the pain improves soon.
