Re: HELP! Cannot tolerate Hormonal Therapy...ADVICE appreciated!
Hi Renee, Sorry you had such a rough time. Now when you say Tamoxifen only gave you a 2% risk reduction, that means that an AI might only be slightly better than that. You already are postmenopausal, so your hormone levels aren"t too high, and you seem to eat a sensible diet. I wonder if the hormone therapy ever really was much of a safety net for you. It may not have contributed very much to your chances of survival. Perhaps you could discuss this with your doctor. Because if I'm right about this, there isn't so much need for worry.
