I was diagnosed at the end of March with DCIS, I had a mastectomy and reconstruction on 18th April. I am almost through my first month on Tamoxifen. Anyone else done similar recently?

Hello,

I came across this really old discussion, and I thought this might interest many of you, as Tamoxifen is an effective hormone therapy for breast cancer.

Have you been treated with Tamoxifen? How did it go? What side effects have you experienced?
