My name is Lynn and today I am 45 and just finished treatment for Breast Cancer (chemo and radiation) Tomorrow I see my family doctor to get a prescription for Tamoxifen. I understand that this is a safe drug. I don't know how this will affect me with menopausal symptoms. My periods have stopped since June. Just curious to read from others how they went through this. Also, my veins in my arm (from chemo) are still really tight and are really noticeable. Is there anything I can do to get them back to normal?
Does anyone take herbal supplements along with Tamoxifen?
Any help with these questions would be great! I am feeling great and hoping the Tamoxifen side affects won't bother me too much. My mother was on Tamoxifen as well but was finally taken off of it after she suffered through 3 dnc's. I am hoping that being more "pre-menopausal" I won't have to go through that kind of ordeal.
thanks!
Lynn Logan
