Hi Kris,

Try searching in the purple tool bar above for tamoxifen vs AI's. I can't speak from any sort of scientific authourity, but I wouldn't think you would have to rush your decision. There are studies that show that many women do well taking tamox for 1 to 3 years, then switching to an AI. My thought is I'd like to see another year or 2 of data accumulate. It's also the choice between side effects. Uterine cancer or osteoporosis? It's also about being slammed into menopause or nudged. See what your onc says. Good Luck, BB
