Thanks for the feedback.I'm unsure whether it is the way to go, but I'm like you what choice do I have! I really would like to try a natural alternative, but my husband really wants me to take the tamoxifen. The last thing I want is for it to come back again. I am not too keen to go through another 6 months of chemo!!I too am like you, I am very active, but I have put on soooo much weight during my chemo. I can't wait to start running again. I tried a few weeks ago, but the radiation has zapped everything out of me. I am still working full time, so I just don't have the time (or energy). However, the weight is starting to come off, because my eating has gone back to normal.What a ride!!Thanks again for the reply, this blogging is all new to me.Lydia
