Waiting for radiotherapy after lumpectomy starting tamoxifen. Can anyone tell me if they have taken this endocrine therapy?

Hi Rainye,
I took Tamoxifen for 1 year before changing to Letrozole for 6½ years. I am now 16 years post diagnosis and still live a busy and fulfilling life. I hope that your treatment goes well.
Kind regards,

Thankyou for the reply. I have a flight booked before my cancer diagnosis and waiting radiotherapy appointment but unsure as was told tamoxifen can cause blood clots if I should fly. Have you flown while on this drug ? How was your experience on tamioxfen and letrozole.
Hi Rainye
I'm just about coming to the end of ten years on Tamoxifen, there were side effects but nothing so horrendous I ever considered stopping taking the drug. Hope this is your experience with it too.
All the best
