Hi all~

46 yr old, BMX, reconstruction.  ER/PR+, and I am into my second month of tamoxifen.  Honestly, with the exception of the first week (raging bee-atch) I've done really well on it.  Sleep doesn't come as easily, and I get weepy a lot, but it's usually about something that touches my heart in a good way not sadness.  Very few hot flashes, no weight gain, really...it hasn't been bad at all. 

Now, I am scheduled for my ooph next month, and I'm wondering how different the SE's will be, since I'm already on tamoxifen?  Did anyone see radical differences after their ooph?  I'm not sure what script will be prescribed post-ooph, but guessing Arimidex?  Has anyone been on both? Were their differences?  Or, should I just expect 'more of the same'?  Any input would be appreciated!
