Oh and then do I dare chime in to say that after the Taxol, if you begin to take Tamoxifen, the hot flashes only seem to get worse! I too have bone/joint pain. Mine began after my ACT was finished and on Herceptin/Tamox.
I was hoping to participate in a Mayo trial to deal with the hot flashes by taking Celexa but it seems I am not fully menapausal so will not be able to participate.
