Re: HER2+, ER+, PR+ and are taking Tamoxifen.

I was pre-menopausal prior to diag in 2004. I didn't have Herceptin at that stage adjuvantly, unfortunately. After chemo I was put on Tamoxifen until I had oopherectomy mid 2006 so I could go on to Arimedex. Unfortunately mets were diag in Dec 2006 and have been on chemo pretty much continuously since then hence no anti hormonal. My onc said there was some research that suggests tamoxifen and chemo is counterproductive but not info re AI's. Am considering if an AI, Tykerb and Herceptin would be best for me. At present I am on Abraxane and am stable though TMs still high.
