Starting Tamoxifen
November 10th, 2006
Today I started taking Tamoxifen (anti-estrogen therapy to lower chances of breast cancer recurrence). My oncologist prescribed 10 mg tablets that I take twice a day; the pharmacist said that the literature doesn't say to take with food, but take it with food anyway. I know some women get nauseated. My trick will be learning how to take something twice a day without fail. There are few things beyond brushing my teeth that I do every day on schedule!
I've decided to have a neutral-to-positive attitude about the Tamoxifen. It may be just fine. Lots of women tolerate it well; I'll just keep reminding myself of that. Last thing I want to do is start demonizing my medicine; that can't be good.
