    Side Effects of Treatment
    Lymphoedema
    Is sometimes experienced by women who have had extensive surgery to remove their lymph nodes (axillary node dissection). There are some precautions that can be taken to try and avoid it, and also some treatments to try and reduce it. 
    Menopause
    Of course, menopause is a natural state. But for women undergoing chemotherapy, it is commonly brought about as a side effect of the treatment, and because it happens so suddenly, the change can be quite dramatic.One of the more common side effects of tamoxifen,  hot flashes, is also a symptom of the menopause.
