Hi @KateA
Just keep in mind that some people have no or very few side effects on Tamoxifen, and that side effects can be managed by your oncologist and your GP.

Please write down your questions and concerns to discuss with your doctors, and take a support person with you to take notes at your next appointments.

All the best, L x
