Tamoxifen no problem

Almost a month since I started on Tamoxifen and all is going well.  I am keeping the flushes under control with Efexor (a positive side effect of this drug) and hardly notice them.  I'm looking forward to my next bone density check to see how much it has helped.  I never thought taking hormones would lift my spirits but I am mostly an optomist (or is that the Efexor?).  I am beginning to enjoy life again after the trials of radiotherapy and surgery.  Have a great Australia Day everyone.  Suz x
