Tamoxifen side effects?
Hi Everyone
I have read in a few people' s posts that they suffer from some side effects from taking Tamoxifen. I am 42 years old and after I have my chemo I will be put onto Tamoxifen for 5 years...

I had one of these before I took Tamoxifen! Have been on Tamoxifen for about 9 months now and find it so much better than Arimidex for joint pain and hot flushes! But I also follow a better diet now to improve my liver function. Can't hurt can it! I eat organic fruit and veg and anything else organic I can find at Woolworths. (they have an excellent Macro range) I also avoid where I can, fatty foods, processed foods and food additives. I've cut back red meat to about 1x week only and eat heaps more veg and drink fresh fruit and veg juices I make. I figure all of this can take a load off the liver and kidneys. I feel very healthy but haven't lost weight-too much of the good stuff! Every now and then I do a herbal liver detox with a powder you mix with water each day for a month. I'm a bit wary of lots of supplements and fad diets as my GP is so against anything but a good diet if possible.
PS If I go out for a meal I make an exception, choose wisely but still have the chips or cheesecake as a treat. :)
