Finally started taking Tamoxifen!!!

Hi all,

well I have been going on and on about it for ages, and last night I took my first Tamoxifen. Oh my god!!!

I was soooooooo nervous as I hate taking ‘drugs’ for the first time. Thankfully it was ok though so onwards and upwards I guess. Only 5 years to go!!

Take care and thanks for alll your advice and words of encouragement,

I am on week 3 Kelly with tamoxifen and I feel great! I have written to you on other threads. I am at RSH at 3.30 pm Cobalt Unit for CT scan, are you there at about that time?

Hi ladies,

thank you so much for your responses. I’ve been on Tamoxifen almost a week now and its so far so good. Mind you, I have felt a little nauseous at times. I’m glad you are both doin ok!

Madeline - Think I may have seen you at the cobalt unit on Monday??? I was looking out and I saw a woman with her hubbie and 2 young children, was that you? I wasn’t sure and didn’t fancy just pouncing on some more unsuspecting woman!

No that wasnt me! I was on my own at 330 pm. They are going to call me back in 7 - 10 days to check on the scan and planning and if ok I should be starting radiotherapy on 20th. I am glad all went well for you. Dont worry too much about Tamoxifen, I am OK apart from the flushes. I am off to an indian cookery course now at Radbrook College - looking forward to it.

Let me know your times at Cobalt and I will look out for you. I am fairly tall with dark brown hair. I usually wear jeans and black jacket or coat.

Take care

Love Madeline
