Hi laraj
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 the Tamoxifen which can sometimes help.
We have further information on our website on the side effects of hormone therapy and we also have information about coping with sex hormone symptoms which may be useful to look at.
On the Breast Care Now website, there is a forum for women going through hormone 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.
Take care Laraj. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
All the best,
Jemma
