Hi Debbie,
I am highly ER positive, and am not taking any sort of anti-estrogen drugs. I found that tamoxifen made my neurological problems much worse and on top of that I felt miserable (worse than chemo). I tried three times. However, I must admit I am quite glad not to be on it any more. Estrogen does a lot of good stuff for your body. My onc was originally extremely concerned, but I am now reaching my five year anniversary, and all is well!
I don't see you as a failure at all. You tried, and did what was best for you.
Best,
Monica
