I would recommend you follow Becky's advice and try to go the AI route if possible. I had just stopped my periods about a month before my diagnosis, so figured I would be menopausal before too long and would make the switch. I took tamoxifen for 1 year and finally tested so that I could change to Femara, but then had my recurrence. I will never know whether or not it would have made a difference for me if I would have gone the other route with things. I normally like to go the direction that if something happens, I won't have to second guess my decisions, kind of the "rather be safe than sorry" approach. As far as how I tolerated the tamoxifen, I really didn't have any problems with it while I was taking it. Best of luck to you in making your decision.
