Effectiveness of Estrogen blockers
HI Everyone, I"m hearing different views on the % of effectiveness of Estrogen blockers like Tamoxifin and Arimidex. Does anyone know how effective these blockers really are? I've heard some ladies get off the drugs as they believe their effectiveness was to low to justify the side effects. I appreciate any responses as I forgot to mention this to my onc at my last visit and don't see him again for 4 months. thanks
