Hello, I have just been diagnosed with LCIS. I am considering taking Tamoxifen but is terrified of the side effects. I read that a low dose tamoxifen of 5mg/day for 3 years is just as effective as 20mg/day in lowering my risk of breast cancer. Does anyone have any experience with low dose tamoxifen?

When I was 49 I had LCIS and was prescribed tamoxifen for 5 years. I did end up having a hysterectomy due to large polyps growing on my uterus after having been on it for four years but I did not really notice any other side effects.
