tamoxifin test
I did have the tamoxifin test and was found to be a poor metabolizer. My onc and I thought it best to go the ooph route since my period came back after chemo and my cancer tested high for hormones. So I had the ooph and I am now on Arimidix. I still have lots of hot flashes and sometimes I just don't feel the same but all in all I'm doing great. I think it's only 10% that are poor metabolizer and I'm one of them. So tamoxifin would not have worked for me.
