Thanks to all that have responded. It really helps me. I couldn't wait to get home and see what responses I got. This has been on my mind for some time now. I saw my gynocologist yesterday and he said that tamoxifen has taken over my hormones. It's a weird case with me. I haven't gotten my period since 02/04 but estrogen is up and still considered pre-menopausal. UNTIL yesterday. Estrogen level dropped to 11 which explains the sudden weight gain. No hot flashes or any menopausal symptoms. Gyno says I'm peri-menopausal now but still baffled. I just don't like to mess with the hormones like this. it's not natural. I know that in one way it's good because I'm er,pr+ but in another way it totally SUCKS! right now it's a question of quality of life for me. btw, I know tamox is a blocker but in my case i think it's doing more than blocking!
I was 39 when diagnosed. 42 now. was in the gray area for period returning. But it's been in limbo since!
hugs to all,
Cindy
