Hi @Annirama, I am currently on Tamoxifen and found myself like you going to get something only to forget what it was. I talked to my oncologist about it and she recommended brain training. I have downloaded a mobile phone app called Elevate. It takes less than 5 minutes per day and is very engaging and easy to do and most importantly I can remember things again. Soooooo much better. As for tiredness I was tired because I was getting interrupted sleep due to hot flushes, aches and pains etc. This has lessened and I now take panadol osteo and use cushions for the aches and pains and do get some beautiful sleep. I also find when I do exercise that it helps me. Wishing you all the and hoping you can get your symptoms under some control. Xx Cath
