You are so right to take everything in small steps, one day at a time. And a whirlwind is a good way to describe what happens when you are diagnosed - one day all is fine with life, the next you are diagnosed and treatment starts before you can blink. When I finished someone told me I should be very proud that I had come through it all - at the time I didn't feel that I had had any choice, but looking back I do think we should all be proud that we found the strength. One thing to think about with tamoxifen - is what time of day suits you best to take it. I take mine in the evening but many people take it in the morning. I think it's a matter of trial and there is no right answer, only what works for you. At the risk of too much info, tamoxifen does sometimes give me "digestive issues" (wind!) so that's why I take mine in the eve. I hope tamoxifen and zoladex are kind to you and wish you all the best as you move forward and find your new normal. I found the time immediately after treatment had finished the hardest as suddenly I was on my own and wasn't being checked by doctors. Just something to be aware of and do chat to someone if you feel like that - on here/your BCN/consultant if you feel anxious or lost but I very much hope you don't. Evie xx
