confused now
Janelle and all,
I recently found this site and saw this thread. I am confused after reading Janelle's original post. You say that you are on Tamoxifen but also consulted with Dr. Slamon and he told you anti-hormonals don't work in HER2+ patients. Did your oncologist convince you to stay on Tamoxifen? I know that Dr. Slamon is a leader in this field and wondered why you wouldn't go with his recommendation. I noticed that some of the responses were from women who had their ovaries removed just so they could take an AI. Are AIs considered anti-hormonal therapy? Sorry to have so many questions but I'm concerned because I am HER2+, moderately ER+ and weakly PR+ and am taking an AI. Is this doing me any good?
You ladies are wonderful. I am learning so much, but have a long way to go.
Suzie
