Tamoxifen - good and bad.

Hello,

I was diagnosed with grade 2 breast cancer and recently had a lumpectomy. My pathology results came back and lymph nodes were clear and clear margins also. I will also be getting radiotherapy and started on Tamoxifen. I’m really quite worried about taking it as I’ve read some horror stories on side effects! 

Really looking to hear some good and bad experience please? 

Thanks!
