Hi Jodie,
I have been on Tamoxifen for 8 weeks and I have had no major side affects. Yes, I have had some hot flushes but really nothing out of the ordinary. I take it at night, and sleep very well most nights. I haven't had any bloating or any dryness either. I was initially nervous as I am generally not good at remembering to take pills, but since going through my various treatments for BC I understand that hormone therapy is something we have todo as part of our medical treatment. You will be fine jodie, and know that I understand your fears but that it will be okay. This is a wonderful site and we are here for you for support and encouragement.
Take Care
Ronnie xx
