The investigators aim to evaluate the benefit of SGB in symptomatic women with breast cancer who are on anti-estrogens and are seeking relief from moderate to very severe VMS that are adversely affecting health and wellbeing. Women with breast cancer on Tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors (AIs) or Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMS) with moderate to very severe VMS will be enrolled as participants in this study.
