Tamoxifen side effects?

Hi ladies, it was really reassuring reading everyone's comments!

I had a partial hysterectomy 12 years ago and 6 months ago was diagnosed with breast cancer.  I opted for a double mastectomy and reconstruction using 'expanders' performed at the same time.  I have completed 4 courses of chemotherapy and have just embarked on my 5 years of Tamoxifen.

I have been taking it now for just over 2 weeks and so far it's really the hot flushes that are the main side effect.  I went to the health shop and they recommended taking White and Green Tea Complex - which is meant to help detox the liver, provide the body with more energy and help metabolism! 

Today I started an Optislim Diet for 7 days, as right now I am like a bald blimp!  I didn't ask the oncologist too many questions, as she was forthcoming with information and printed stuff out for me to read.  I have decided to do as they say.  I lost my beautiful 17 year old daughter to a brain tumour 5 years ago, so have walked this cancer path before.  Just want to fast forward these next 5 years and hope not too many side effects for me!

When I have finished the White and Green Tea complex I will try the Evening Primrose and see if that helps with the sweats.  I'm 46 years old and will do anything to get through this as symptom free as possible.  On Monday I went sky diving - it was totally awesome!!!!!!!  Life is for living :-)
