Oddly after 17 yrs of U.C. (ulcertive colitis)& it at it's ultimate worst during surgery and radiation-Once I started taking Tamoxifen-(not sure how long after I started) I noticed my colitis is like NON-existant! I can eat and drink anything-totally like I dont' even have it. (UC) My onolcogist told me that is the silver lining to cancer! Time will tell in 4 yrs once I no longer have to take it-but for now IT' Great!

    That's Great!

    UC is nasty. So glad you're rid of it. Hang in there - you're going to be okay. Lots of good wishes for good health and happiness.
