Hi mallysally

You must have finished your other treatments now and I am very pleased for you. I can remember when you first logged on and have often followed your comments since.

I started taking tamoxifen the end of July and so far have had no side effects. Yet I know that other ladies have had a bad reaction almost straight away, others perhaps a year or more after and of course some not at any time.

It seems to be like everything else with this cancer dx, a may or may not situation.

I was very fightened about taking them but decided to knowing that I could always stop if I wanted.

I hope that it goes well for you and that you experience no reaction.
