Re: New member question

Yes Linn, I asked that question too and was told it wouldn't do any harm as my first core biopsy showed ER+ and PR- but biopsy of mastectomy showed the opposite.
I'm really confused as to what I should take. I tried Tamoxifen but only lasted a week as joint pain was unbearable.
My Vitamin D levels were low so I'm now taking it in tablet form but no sign of improvement.
I'm suffering terribly with hot flushes and night sweats too so am inclined to think this was the AI setting it off again (I've been post menopausal for 17 years)
Thoughts ladies?
