Huh. This actually makes me feel better.

I was looking up the side effects of the anti-cancer meds I'm (OMG still!) on, and found this tidbit at breastcancer.org:

Hot flashes or night sweats from taking tamoxifen can be troubling. But a 2008 British study suggests that women who experienced hot flashes and night sweats while taking hormonal therapy medicine were less likely to have the breast cancer come back (recur).

Knowing that is making the stupid things so very much easier to tolerate. (If more intense symptoms indicate a greater reduction in recurrence, I am in good, good shape!)
