Thanks for your reply. I also had taken Anastrazole, no problems but after I read what it could do to my already weak bones, I stopped it. Just looked at the bottle of Tamoxifen, it's 20 mg. and is not scored. Too bad, because she gave me 90 days worth, not sure what I will decide to do. My surgeon said that the hormone blockers are really for people who would probably live another 30 yrs., that's not me, I'm pushing 80.

I am 59, started Tamoxifen three weeks ago. I actually have stage four breast cancer and am on a break from chemo right now (cancer is stable) so they gave me Tamoxifen , the metastasis is in my bones. I take it at bedtime because it makes me a bit dizzy and sleepy so that’s what the pharmacist said to do. I had an upset stomach the first week, but it seems to have balanced out now and I really can’t say I have any issues. Good luck.

If I were you I would throw it away! Why did you get it? That would be necessary to know in order to make a better decision.I am 77 and refused anastrozole.I would prefer to age gracefully.
