Re: Tamoxifen anxiety

Hi everyone -- im very confused about the tamoxifen vs ooph issue. I had bmx, 4 AC, and am on 8 of 12 taxol. Onc recommends tamox. Im 41. But I have been reading so many posts the last few days of women my age who get an ooph and then go on an AI. My onc also didnt say anything about tamox being less effective on her2+ patients, which I have also seen mentioned on boards. Does it vary from doctor to doctor, or is there a general standard for er+pr+her2+? Is there really proof that tamox will not work well if you are her2+? Thanks.
