I am currently on Tamoxifen, but at my December appointment with my oncologist he is going to run the estrogen test to see if I am certifiably menapausal. If I am, he plans to switch me to an AI. I, too, would be interested in knowing if anyone else has done this and if so, how they got along with the change in drugs.
