I have been on Tamoxifen for just over 18 months I am still suffering with the side-effects but I am too frightened to stop taking it as I have a very strong family history of breast cancer and ovarian cancer. It’s starting to affect my every day life at the moment I am in bed with virual symptoms but I’m sure it’s the Tamoxifen. Will the side-effects ease as I will be taking Tamoxifen for the next 8 1/2 years. I am in such a dilemma as I don’t want to stop taking Tamoxifen because if it’s the cancer returns I will never know if it’s because I stopped taking it. Sorry for the long message but I’m feeling very low at the moment and need to get this off my chest as the only surviving female in my family has had breast cancer twice so I’m so frightened it’s going to come back. Has anyone else had the side-effects long-term and how did you cope?
