Hello , I am a cancer survivor, I have been cancer free is 05 I'm going toward my 6th year.. Thank God... I am taking Tamoxifen 2 times a day. I was in the sun for a little to long like 4hrs I'm wondering if anybody knows if the meds has a reaction to the sun. I have little bumps and some big bumps across my neck where I was burnt and now coming up on my legs and arms.. I also take Lexipro thats the only 2 meds I take each day.. before when i went to the tanning bed (years ago) I had simular thing happen and was told it was tanners each. Any experience with these meds. help..thanks
