Not so friendly Tamoxifen...

Ok....so I am almost 2 weeks into Tamoxifen and I'm really not liking it so far! Aside from the ridiculous hot flushes and night sweets I'm really dizzy / faint and just don't feel well! Has only else had these side effects and if so did they last?

  • Thank you for sharing with me, I really thought I have been going insane as everything I read no one seems to have the horrible side effects that I'm feeling.

    That is a brave move to have the hysterectomy though, you should be proud that your taking it into your own hands and not giving it a chance to come back.

    Do you mind me asking what type of BC you had? My oncologist said that I might as well have not had chemo or radiation if I don't take the tamoxifen...wasn't really what I wanted to hear! My is hormonally driven and it was stage 3...I just don't know what to do as I would still really like to try and have children. I also know i can't cope with these side effects for the next 5 years. Being a women really sucks hey!

    Good luck with everything!! :-)
