Hi there,
This is my day six, so far so good. Hope it stays this way.
Hi all ,
I have now finished 2nd packet only 4 years and ten months to go, ha ha, but I feel fine odd hot flush inn day and hot at night but been having those since chemo knocked my periods out. I have only just finished rads on Friday and am very tired and a bit achy but nothing too bad, but I assume thats from a combination of 8 chemos, 3 ops and the rads, hoping not from tamoxifen…
I have had to put on the work top in my kitchen so I remember to take every morning, I just been thinking it might be better to put next to my bed and take at night. Not sure.
take care all

Hi there who ever reads this rather old thread, but thought I’d write a note as I’m taking tamoxifen now. Have been on it for nearly 4 weeks. Had some pre-menstral headaches but stopped after 2 weeks. Have a rash appearing on my stomach and will see what happens to that. Also some lower stomach pain, have a selection of fibroids and think they may be affected by the drug. My oncologist said I will go into menopause and fibroids will shrink. But one of the side affects of tax is to increase fibroids! So I shall see . Really don’t like being on a drug but if it helps stop a cancer happening will carry on. I see a homoeopath regularly, and she will help with side effects and perhaps help shrink my fibroids. Oh the joy of being a woman are many!!
Have read a lot of threads about Tamoxifen and side effects and it is a hard issue to deal with. I’m going to carry on for at least 3 months and then see how I feel. Everyone is different and some ladies suffer much more than others.
Any one else had problems with fibroids? Really don’t want any more hospital treatment at this moment in time!!!
