Tamoxifen - any positive experiences?

Hi, I'm just wondering whether anyone has had any positive experiences on tamoxifen? I'm 28 and was diagnosed with ER positive breast cancer in March. I've been on tamoxifen for about 6 weeks and so far it's been fine, I haven't had any side effects other than being tired (but think that's more to do with radiotherapy) I was dreading going on it after everything I read online but I've been completely fine. I don't want to tempt fate but has anyone else had a similar experience? Or has it taken longer for side effects to kick in?

    Hi 

    I've been on Tamoxifen for over six years now, I've had a range of relatively mild side effects, but nothing too terrible to consider stopping it. Some people find certain brands are better for them. For me all the various brands seem pretty similar. At present the most annoying side effect is brain fog- concentration is difficult. Thankfully I haven't had much tiredness.

    Hope all goes well for you.
