Hi Kerr Kerr,
I'm in the same situation as you I'm currently having radiation til end of Oct, then It'll be tamoxifen. I'm having terrible hot flushes at night from the chemo, I can't imagine them getting much worse!! I have heard that different brands have different effects on people, but you won't know until you try. I guess the positives are that it prevents recurrences by shutting down your ovaries for hormone positive tumours. Personally I'm finding the whole thing quite depressing. I appreciate the earlier comments about supplements and scans.
Take care, you're not alone.
