Help! The thought of taking Tamoxifen scares me!!!

Hi all,

I hope someone can help! I was told on monday that when I start rads mid Nov I will also be starting hormone therapy. At first I was told I would be on Zoladex and Arimidex (I’m 35, pre-meno and periods have continued throughout chemo). Anyway on mon I was told this was likely to be changed to Tamoxifen, not sure the reasoning behind it but my trials nurse is looking into it for me!

Anyway, the thought of taking Tamoxifen quite frankly scares the bejesus out of me! I’ve read nothing but horror stories about it on here and am starting to get myself really wound up now! The side effects people mention sound horrid and very debilitating. Am I worrying unecessarily or am I right to be very concerned?

Please help if you can,

Many thanks,

Kelly
