Hi Jo71, I'm sorry to hear about the side effects that you are having. I don't have any experience with this chemo, but I would advise the side effects/symptoms with your doctor. Hopefully they can adjust the dose or come up with some other measures. None of this seems fair when we are facing these battles. (good luck with your new job) -s

How were your tests? I currently have uterine cancer and had a hysterectomy, now in chemo. Thoughts with you!

Just been reading about this Jo. Apparently the side affects are pretty much like going through an abrupt menopause. Apparently the side affects will lesson as time goes on. Your body slowly adjusts to the absence of the hormones apparently.

Hi @Slayergirl707 and welcome!
Have you been able to chat with your treatment team about how the tamoxifen is making you feel?
Both yourself and @Jo71 may like to check out our podcasts here. And we have a fabulous book called Emotions and Cancer that I think would be good read for both of you, you can download it here in PDF format.
You both may also be interested in find out more about counselling - you can find out more here: Talk to a professional counsellor (for Australians). Or if you're in the USA, you could contact the American Cancer Society on 800-227-2345 and see if there's an option near to you.
