I am 48 and on Tamoxifen. I was pre-menopause before chemo. I feel like I and post menopause now. Haven't had hormone tests to confirm, but no periods for 21 months. I asked my onc about switching to AI and he said he wanted me to stay on Tamoxifen for 2 years then switch to AI. I'm sure bone loss is a concern since I am osteopenia in my hips already (was a year ago after completing chemo) and AIs don't protect that like Tamoxifen.
