Can you explain, you sort of mentioned you had some side effects?
Yes, there are side effects.
Mostly it affected me in the uterus as I understand it where the lining of the uterus constantly discharges itself and you get very heavy bleeds every now and then.
So I went to see a doctor who specialises in the menopause and bleeding and she referred me to a gynaecologist.
And he did, scraped out the lining of the uterus in case there might be a cancer there because I think, and this would need to be checked, that one of the side effects or one of the unwelcome side effects of tamoxifen is the likelihood of a cancer of the uterus.
But that was all cleared up that.
The possibility of it was all cleared up because I hadn't got it.
