Hi Everyone

Hi Gay, when I read Tonya's post last evening I thought "All said - nothing more to add".  I am pleased that you are going to try Tamoxifen.  I was on it for nearly 4 years but had more bc diagnosed last December so my surgeon and med oncologist immediately put me on Arimidex.  I had no trouble with Tamoxifen (and my body hates drugs).  I was only 50 and still having regular periods.  Things stopped but every so often I would have some breakthrough bleeding (one year on from my diagnosis we were married and of course I had some bleeding on our honeymoon!!!)  I had a great gyne who would monitor me very closely.  I had quite a few d&c's just to be sure that there wasn't a problem - higher risk of uterine cancer whilst taking Tamoxifen.   I wish I was still on it - I had the side effects that chemo mixed with Arimidex gives me.  Tonya and I are "Twins" - same age, same scenerio so we tend to be able to give out pretty good info.  Hope my info is also a bit of an "add on" for you.  Good luck.  XLeonie
