Re: Advice needed ... Tamoxifen or AI?

I was 62 at time of diagnosis, so obviously post menopausal. When the medical oncologist was determining hormone therapy he based his decision on the results of my CYP2D6 status. As I understood him to say my results indicated that tamoxifen would be ineffective for me, therefore I was prescribed Femara (letrozole). I am curious as I have not read others mentioning this test and I thought it was pretty standard.
