Hmmm, it's a bit hard to know what will happen on tamoxifen until I try it I suppose. But thanks ladies for your comments, I really appreciate the information. I will keep in mind the evening primrose oil & vit E too.
The more I read about this whole breast cancer recovery business and preventing recurrence, the more crucial it appears to adopt a scupulously healthy lifestyle. Not that I was a total slob before but there was/is room for improvements. Although I totally agree that life must include treats now and then.
Also, in the long run - much as it pains me to say it - I guess it's better to be a couple of kilos heavier and alive on tamoxifen than slender and dying from secondary breast cancer.
Good luck everyone in staying healthy and happy. Janet.
