Thanks for the reply Julie (and others !)
I am going to see my oncologist tomorrow afternoon so will be sure to ask some questions and get as much info as I can. I have been getting hot flushes already (I assume from the chemo) so I know what they are like - although for the last week they seem to have subsided again!!
I know that everyone is different and my experience with Tamoxifen may not be the same as anyone elses but I will try to put my experiences up here in a few months so that others can read how it has affected me too :)
