5 years and counting

So I officially started my Tamoxifen today.  It's a common anti-estrogen medication you take if you have  estrogen- receptor positive breast cancer.  The typical time frame for taking Tamoxifen is five years...ugh.  The good news is that I shouldn't feel too many side effects because the Zoladex I am on has already put me through the hot flashes.  I had to start taking extra Calcium and Vitamin D too since the anti-estrogen medication can cause early bone loss.  I am going to need a massive daily pill holder if this keeps up!
