I understood an A1 is better for us her2 er's than Tamoxifen which is usually for pre menopausal people? I have some side effects on Arimidex but was diagnosed eight years ago and have been taking it for seven years and will continue up to ten as my Onc says the studies currently being done are showing this to be promising.
