I am unable to lose weight and the hot flashes are worse in the summer. i would like to go off tamoxen for the summer! what do you think?

Continue : I would continue the tamoxifen if your oncologists recommends this. I would not suggest stopping and restarting. Consider using something non-hormonal for the -bothersome hot flashes-gabapentin or Celexa (citalopram) would be reasonable. Increasing exercise will be helpful for both issues. I hope you feel better soon!
