I again raised the question of use of tamoxifen with my new onc this week. The answers will vary of course somewhat depending on whether one is premenopausal or perimenopausal or menopausal since AI's are pretty much limited to use with menopausal women and either tamoxifen or raloxifene are the alternatives other than ovarian ablation plus various meds to become menopausal and stay there if you are not truly menopausal after chemo. Anyway, I am menopausal and since I am HR+ am recommended to have an AI. The onc was pretty definite about not using tamoxifen for HER2's at all, so that is about all I have to contribute to your question.
