My thanks to Hopeful and Becky for your responses (Lani I look forward to hearing back from you when you get a chance). From the link Hopeful provided it looks like the herception/tamoxifen combo is a good choice, but now that I am done with treatment and am only taking tamoxifen I need to make a decision. Becky, from your signature I know that you had an oomph so you could switch to an AI. What research did you base your decision on? I know my onc will go with what I want but I want to be able to support my position.

Thanks again everyone!
