Tamoxifen - how was it for you

Last reply: 07 September 2021 20:14

Hi, I was diagnosed with ER+ recently, had surgery but don’t require radiation or chemo. I’m beginning tamoxifen very soon and interested to know how people have been on it. I’m premenopausal, and generally very fit and healthy. Thanks 🙏🏻 😊
