Need any insight that you can offer.....I need to choose between Tamoxafin or Aromatose Inhibitor w/Lupron shots as part of my hormonal therapy.
I have been recieving weekly (24) treatments of Carbo/Taxol/Herceptin since January. I am down to my LAST 2 TREATMENTS!!! Oh my what a feeling!!! I will begin 33 rads soon after. Then Hormonal treatment.
I am 31 yrs., Stage 1, Grade 3, HER2+, PR -, and ER + (70%). No Lymph Nodes involved, did have Vascular invasion, and had a Lumpectomy. Now I don't know which way to go with the Hormonal treatment. I am NOT in menopause yet.
Onc. wanted to do the Tamoxafin b/c initially fertility was an issue for me. Now, 8 months later fertility preservation is not high on my list. Just want to keep this cancer away.
Can anyone shed some light on these 2 different treatments?? Are the Aromatose inhibitors more effective? SIde effects of both??? What about the fact that Tamoxafin has been around for so long and is well documented.
Thank you so,
Victoria :)
