Re: Really scared please help
Hey there, Concerned!
Welcome to our merry band of good folks here! Sorry you had to join, but now that you have please stick around and ask all the questions you like. I am triple positive (er, pr, & Her2) and took Tamoxifen for several months in conjunction with my Herceptin. Once confirmed to be in menopause I switched and did 3 years of Femara, so 2 years of Tamoxifen, and 3 of an A.I. for a total of 5 years. In October with my annual visit, it was suggested that I continue on Tamoxifen for another 5 years as long as I tolerate it well. I had tendon problems with the Femara.
