Happy second year!!!! I did take tamoxifen for 5 years with little side effects. It was the letrozole that I took after the tamoxifen that caused significant bone loss. Hopefully they will have a better alternative for you when you get to that point in your long and successful recovery. I found that talking about my cancer caused me great anxiety, especially during the first years following my diagnosis so I avoided these forums. I had a lot going on with work and raising my family at the time so I choose to just try embrace the fact that I had been given a good prognosis and tried to just put it all behind me as best I could. It made me so grateful for all the gifts I had in my life, and each milestone I have witnessed in my children and now my grandchildren’s lives I realize how lucky I am. My suggestion to you would be to make a list of all your hopes for this coming year. And as you experience each one, just count your blessings. Then repeat for each new year. None of us knows what’s in store for tomorrow. Consider your experience with this challenge a success, try and find something positive that came out of the experience and move on. Life is too short by any measure to waste it on something we cannot control. Best of luck.
