Tamoxifen in younger women

Is anyone on here in their late 30's and been taking Tamoxifen for 5+ years? Could you tell me how you felt when first taking? What side effects were like? What is it like taking it in early 30's.

Finding it hard to find people who have been diagnosed and treated for breast cancer before 32 and are now 5+ years into hormone treatment. Am trying to decide if it's the next best step for me.

  • Hi Emily-C,

    Have you heard of the Younger Breast Cancer Network on facebook? It's for those diagnosed at younger ages, and there are so many posts similar to yours where people respond with their experiences, which you may find helpful. It's also a wonderful community full of support for all sorts of issues that occur with BC and the impact this has on those of us diagnosed in our 20s-40s. Hopefully someone may respond here too. Wishing you all the best.
