    Regarding your hot flashes, my onco put me on effexor to help with depression and hot flashes and it works for me. I just live with the aches and pains!!

    My right hip bothers me too. I go for my first 3 month check up in October and I guess we are only human to worry about a recurrence.

    Sparky radiation treatments made me very depressed.But after about a month I seemed to snap back with exercise and and traveling.Give yourself some time not everyone breezes through rads.

    I am on my 5 th year of Tamoxifen.Still have joint pain but have learned to live with it.Hot flashes have really decreased this last two years without meds.Heading to the gym or a good long walk every second day really helped keep my joints moving.

    My 5 year check up went well so after going over the new studies from Europe my MO is keeping me on Tamoxifen another 5 years.

    I would love to know more about what natural treatments your oncologist recommends. I went off tamoxifen 3 weeks ago for a one month "holiday" but do not want to go back on it.
