Thanks so much for that Janet.  I will look into that diet.  I do try to eat a pretty clean diet, and hardly ever have processed or empty food.  I had a glass of wine last night for the first time in a couple of months.  Thought it might fix a few things haha!  But I think that type of diet is the way to go.  No body wants this disease back, and I feel terribly for those who do have a recurrence.  

As far as the tamoxifen, my oncologist was going to put me on that in the first place, but I developed blood clots after my first round of chemo.  One in particular in my jugular vein.  So there is a chance of blood clotting with Tamoxifen and thats why he didn't put me on it.  I was on clexane injections for the 6 months of chemo unfortunately.  But I will give it another 3 months and then see how I'm travelling.  I just went the the gp about my pain and he says its chronic pain syndrome!!  In other words I think he means its mostly in my head and I just need to deal with it better.  So I will give that a go too.  But I don't know how its in my head when I wake up during the night with it.

Thanks again Janet for your thoughts and ideas.  I never realised how good this site was until now.  Its just lovely to talk to others who have been thru it too.  I hope you are also recovering too.  This disease doesn't seem to discriminate.  Thanks Sue
