Thanks for the comments, girls. I still have a few weeks before I visit my onc again so I will keep researching.... I have been perimenopausal for four years now so I am accustomed to hot flushes, night sweats, headaches, etc so that won't be anything new! As a matter of fact, I believe I'm in this situation today due to side effects of hormone management.... My gynecologist put me on the pill (Yasmine) to control heavy periods and hot flushes - 12 months later, I had a chest full of blood clots, 4 in my right leg and one in my left leg. This was "an unexplained event" so I was prescribed Warfarin for life. Next she put in a "Mirena" IUD - again for hormone control - and 2 years later, I have breast cancer! This is why I am nervous about side effects. I also feel tempted to go and give that gyny a piece of my mind! I will give all this some serious thought and have to thank you, Janet for the "voice of reason" you are no doubt correct when you say we may get a somewhat skewed view in online comments in some cases..
