I did - didn't really see any relationship between the two

I finished chemo in early October 2009, and my oncologist suggested I start on Tamoxifen before I began radiation.  Started Tamoxifen in late October 2009, and began radiation in early November.

I can't say I noticed any relationship between the two -- my only major side effect from Tamoxifen is hot flashes, which began the 2nd day I took it, and didn't seem to change in any way during or after radiation.  I've now been on Tamoxifen for 5 1/2 years, oncologist wants me on it for 10 years total.  

My major side effect from radiation was skin burns, which healed completely within a few weeks after finishing radiation.

I did.

As soon as I finished chemo, my onc started me on tamoxifen.  My radiation treatments started about two or three weeks after I finished chem
