I've been on Tamoxifen 10mg Tablets for a few months now to treat my breast cancer. It's been a rollercoaster, but I'm hoping to share my experience and hear from others who might be going through the same thing. Tamoxifen works by blocking the effects of estrogen, which can fuel some types of breast cancer. It's like fitting a 'key' into the 'lock' on cancer cells, but the key doesn't open the lock, stopping estrogen from activating the cancer. I've had some side effects, but overall, it seems to be working. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Or perhaps some advice on dealing with the side effects?
