Worried about not being given Tamoxifen

Hi,

I am getting concerned that I was never given tamoxifen. Granted I am only weakly ER+ (~10%) but since I am premenopausal, it makes me nervous. I am taking Evista for osteopenia, which is supposed have similar benefits as Tamoxifen.

Can you please give me your opinions? Or, if this has been already discussed before, point me to the thread?

hugs,
shobha
