I was on tamoxifen 5 years worst thing were hot flashes, and I was also going through menopause so prob would have had them anyway… annoying but I got through… not horrible … again annoying! I am now on arimidex for 4 years… one year to go… bc I needed the extra time! I have some stiffness here and there, is it def from meds… idk for sure… I will be 60 next month so could be just normal. That’s all for me! Nothing horrible.
Everyone is different! It does save lives♥️ So be your own judge. I am 10 years a survivor in October and I have to believe these meds are part of the reason. Almost afraid to go off… but it will be time😏

It's great to read the words 'ten years' and 'survivor' in the same sentence. Kudos to you and medical science.
