I only took Tamox for a few months but decided to have my ovaries removed in order to take Arimidex and be sure I was cutting down the estrogen as much as i could.
I've no regrets at all although I do have some joint/bone pain with Arimidex.
i was 47 when I had the ooph but my onc felt my periods may start up again at some point.
Good luck with your decision!
