Hi there recently diagnosed with breast cancer. whirlwind of diagnosis,surgery now on tamoxifen and awaiting radiotherapy which starts next week! However really suffering from insomnia, leg cramps, headaches and many hot flushes and worried how I am going to lie still next weeks!! Seems small issues compared to many but any advice please x
I’m also struggling with hot flushes and night sweats. Seem to spend my day and night ‘wet’ which is horrible and actually not helping me rally! I start radiotherapy on the 11/7 and I suppose just going to have to pray that it doesn’t happen but if it does it is only 10 mins!! Good luck and speak to the oncology team as I’ve donas there maybe another tablet that we can take!!!
Hi
I was on tamoxifen for 2.5yrs and I must say that the initial side effects that you describe Kimvon pass with time. Give it 3 to 6 months and things will settle - at least they did for me. That sounds like a very long time if you’ve just started the journey but I am sure you can do it! I bought one of those chillow pillows to help with hot flushes at night, and I love it. I moved on to different meds now so dealing with different se’s again and also at the beginning of a 5 year period on these…all the best

Thank you and good luck
