Tamoxifen after radiation

Tamoxifen after radiation

I am starting on tamoxifen next week and finish radiation this week.  I have had superficial blood clots in my legs before and a bad allergic reaction to chemo ITaxotere).  I am afraid of this drug.   I am 49 and chemo has sent me into menopause already (I think).  I have severe hot flashes and no periods.  Doctor wanted to take my ovaries out before but changed his mind.  Is there a benefit from removing them or just keep them and take this drug with aspirin.  What side effects can I expect from tamoxifen?
