Tamoxifen and mental health

I have had lumpectomy, surgery and radiation. My type of cancer is an aggressive type and my medical oncologist keeps saying to take Tamoxifen. I could not tolerate all other meds they tried for prevention. I am also 83 and wondering if I should take Tamoxifen, at my age I wonder if the side affects are worth it since I still have neuropathy in my feet, fingers and balance is not too good. Also have osteoporosis and started generic Fosamax which has its own side affects. Anyone else going through same?

It can save your life! Tamoxifen is part mind over matter. Good luck.
