Dear Janet

There are 2 members who have used Faslodex. One is Susan (member name is just Susan - no initials) and the other is Joy. You should privately message them for their experiences with Faslodex as sometimes some of us don't come on the board for a couple of weeks at a time because of work or vacation.

For the record, Dr. Slamon (inventor of Herceptin) says that he feels Faslodex is the way to go for Her2 women who are also ER+. It is his anti-hormonal of choice.
