Hi Louise,

I've been on tamoxifen for 18 months after undergoing a mastectomy.

I must say that some days, I feel like I'm in someone else's skin. I have a lot of night sweats that keep me awake and feel very tired during the day. I feel pain in my legs mostly the right one and I am very moody which is not like me at all. Some days i feel very low and that's when I think about stopping the treatment and then I think about my 2 girls. I don't know what to do, my oncologist is telling me that the good of this treament outweigh the sides effects but i don't know.

There is a webside you could check for more info about Tamoxifen here is the address:

I wish you and all the ladies all the best with the treatment.

Linda
