I had BC in 1998 removal of lymph nodes which were clear and decided not to take tamoxifen as I was 45 and it dosent always work and the fact that I didn't want menopause to strat then. I have had the usual awful symptoms of menopause for the last couple of years and I am 54. My GP referred me to menopause clinic and they have allowed me to try Tibolon but only half a tablet a day since 5 November 07. I am just starting to feel much better, happier and more my old self. No pains in my joints at all. I will know better in Feb and I will be havig thorough checks by the clinic at that time too.

My consultant , although very good with dealing with breast cancer, is of little help when looking at the wellbeing of the person. She just says no to anything that gives extra oestrogen but offers no alternatives
I still work - I teach - and find these symtoms extremely uncomfortable when facing a group of people.
