    I am unsure of the tamoxifen, too

    Survivor 81,

    I understand your situation with the tamoxifen.  I am in exactly the same boat. I see my medical oncologist on Tuesday for blood work and then a discussion about going on tamoxifen.  I finsh my rads next week, too. So it is a big week for me next week.

    The SE of the tamoxifen are scary.  I don't want the hot flashes since I never had them when I went through menopause the first time, so to me that is a big drawback.  But I am still going to research some more before Tues and then hopefully be a more informed patient with intelligent questions when I meet with the doctor. 

    Anyone out there have good resources that we should be reading about this drug?

    Good luck to you and let us know what decision you make about taking it.
