Hello everyone,
Been taking tamoxifen for a 10 days. First few days I started getting hot flushes and last few days felt tired and lethargic. I did go back to work part time too this week so could be why feel so tired. How did/do you feel taking these tablets?
Also start my 20 radiotherapy sessions this week so sure I’ll be feeling more tired during this.
Hope everyone is doing ok x
Hello
I started taking Tamoxifen in December and started radiotherapy in January.
in first few weeks I noticed a few side effects but did my best to ignore them. Generally now I notice a lot less (or I‘ve gotten better at managing them).
I felt very fatigued towards the end of the radiotherapy. I used an app called Untire. I found this really helpful to understand why suddenly I was totally drained and also to manage my energy levels better. It was frustrating but that app helped me to manage myself.
Wishing you all the best
Hi
I also had problems with Tamoxifen so my oncologist put me on Letrozole which suited me better. Maybe ask your oncologist for alternatives?
I finished 25 sessions of radiotherapy a couple of weeks ago and I was very lethargic for days. Just rest as much as possible and don’t over exert yourself.
Good luck and take care.
