Janrence, if youre not going away until May, its probably a good time to jump onto your hormone therapy if it has already been prescribed, at least you will have time to see if you have any adverse reactions etc., I had zero on Tamoxifen, but now lots on Arimidex but I can honestly say for me, I believe its more about being pre menopausal or post in terms of side effects. Im managing side effects better now on Arimidex, BC turned me VEWY CRANKY LOL but I have to say I believe things are more attributed to menopause for me than the meds. uuugh. Melinda x
