I have been asking about this since first go round. Always wondering why I have to take as much as someone with ovaries? (I had mine removed in 2000) obviously I would have less estrogen. When I asked, reply is always, but you still have "some". It also is stored in body fat, at this point I have no body fat and still have to take same amount, 1mg Arimidex daily.
Also, my second cancer is "mildly" estrogen positive, first time was "highly".
Would love an answer.
My best to all,
Di
