Did anybody get both Tamoxifen plus Ovarian suppression?  I would like to know how you feel and whether you got severe bone loss.

I am on Tamoxifen and Ovarian Suppression. I'm in a study, and I'm getting Triptorelin, which is similar to Lupron but used only in studies (I think). I have hot flashes and I feel like my skin is dry, but overall not too bad. Don't know yet about the bone loss. I've only been on things for about 1/2 a year.
