Re: Need some help!!

Just to mention re the Raloxifene, this was tested on ladies who had NOT had bc and was found to be beneficial in preventing it while protecting the bones to a degree but has'nt been tested on anyone with bc as yet and is usually given to those who cant take Tamox or have severe osteoporosis after bc!

I did'nt like the potential serious side effects of tamox so had an ooph and take Arimidex ever since.
