It is worth having a chat with your breast specialist nurse, about the side effects you are having as they may be able to advise you about managing them and what it would mean if you did decide to stop taking the treatment. It may also be possible to change the brand of theTamoxifenwhich can sometimes help.
On the Breast Care Now website, there is a forum for women going throughhormone treatment which may be worth checking out and you may find you get more posts by posting on the 'living with cancer' thread on this forum.
