Hi Astrid--
I had the same tumor profile and have researched this subject to a good degree as well. I've been to three different Oncs, and they all recommend Tamox. I'm finally getting comfortable with it-- and I have the same quality of life concerns.
Here's a link to a thread that I started on my Tamox questions...there is an article that might interest you.

You'll also find some good info/interviews on this site:

I hope this is helpful.
