Hi karen
I am sorry i lost my posts 2 you yesterday. I am also on tamoxifen. I take my tablet @ night after eating & that works 4 me. I do get flushes & never a night goes by without waking up several x.have been on it since april. I had 18 rads & was v nervous but there was no need. Used e45 cream + aloe vera 99% 2 sooth my skin. Worked through most of it then had 2 give in 2 the tiredness. I guess u just have 2 rest if &when u can. Hope you get on ok with everything. I am sure u will be fine as you have got through the chemo (i wasnt offered chemo not sure whether that is a good or bad thing!) i hope rads are easiet 4 you.
Best wishes
Alis
