Hello everyone. I'm new here. Already I feel like I am in the right place...reading other people's posts. I had stage 1 breast cancer, estrogen receptive. Lumpectomy, then radiation. Prescribed tamoxifen. I cannot even explain how nasty this drug has been for me. Like a lot of you are describing (and the "known" side effects); fatigue, sore muscles, sore joints, fogginess, weight gain right on my stomach, moodiness.... WOWSERS. I have never had a drug have SO many side effects. This is significantly affecting my quality of life. I am meetng with the cancer entourage (team) to discuss getting off of this med. I do worry about what this means for recurrence, longevity...you know. Has anyone else stopped taking Tamoxifen? Does anyone have any tricks? I feel like I have to chose between quility of life in the short-term and a shortened life span. thank you all
