    Good luck! It can be a difficult drug because of the side effects (fatigue and loss of libido for me), but I do believe it is the only reason I have made it this long (24 years!).

    Goodbye womb, hello Tamoxifen
    For all you've gone through, I hope the Tamoxifen really does its job over the next coupld of years for you! My MO said I could stop taking it since it caused polyps twice in less than 1.5 years. My gyn took care of the polyps and I still have my uterus. But I was lucky, I started all this with DCIS and the MO and I both think mammograms and ultrasounds will catch anything else early enough. It's a chance I can live with. Good luck to you.
