Hi Debbie,
...and it is even more frustrating when one does not know how tamoxifen "non-metabizers" work into these numbers. I cannot understand why all studies would not do this blood test and either exclude them or publish it as part of the results.
Debbie, I asked this question elsewhere, but Donna said she had uterine thickening as a result of the arimidex. I had thought that only tamoxifen had that as a side effect. Do you happen to know if this is an established side effect of the AI's?
And, I wonder if there is a difference among the AI's if so.
