Tamoxifen

Post a new topicby JML on Fri Oct 05, 2007 11:53 am


Does anyone know if side effects of this drug (especially hot flashes, depression, and mood changes) usually last for the entire time you are taking it? I don't know if I can take this for 4 more years. Thanks.

The side effects you are describing are he minor ones , although I am sure they do not feel minor to you. They may subside over time or you may get use to them but if it helps you survive breast cancer it is well worth it. Hang in there, good luck
