Tamoxifen
Hi girls, I'm at the point of deciding whether to start taking Tamoxifen or not...... its been on my mind for the past few weeks, reading all the pros and cons; I'm really leaning towards not taking ...
I have been on Tamoxifen for nearly three years now. I started on Arimidex but the joint pain was too much for me so I asked to swap. I certainly have hot flushes and still some joint pain but not as bad as before. I consider that the additional benefit Tamoxifen gives me is worth the discomfort I have and just get on with things . When I am finally off this drug I will look back and think it wasn't too bad.
But I agree give it a try and if it is not for you ask to try a different drug.
