I was pre menopausal when diagnosed, but my period stopped during chemo and then for good when I had an oopherectomy. I started tamoxifen in September and haven't had any side effects. I don't know the other drug you're getting, but I get zometa twice a year. Only side effect was flu like symptoms day after infusion.

@A MyBCTeam Member - how long did you take Arimidex for? How soon did you start to feel the side effects? I just started taking it Dec 1.

Chemo knocked me into menopause. they gave me Arimidex, I had terrible side effects. at some point I stopped being menopausal and they switched me to tamoxfen with less side effects
