Hi Amelia,
May I be so forward as to suggest that you get a second opinion at a major cancer center. While others have focused on the portion of your post regarding Tamoxofin, I am more concerned about your statement that you might stop Herceptin, although you are Stage IV. If you are currently on Herceptin and your cancer is still under control, I think it would be a big mistake to discontinue the Herceptin after only a year or on the drug. I am not sure why your onc is even talking about possibly stopping it, unless you have progression.
I would also be quite concerned about taking Tamoxifin without Herceptin, for the reasons discussed by others.
I also was diagnosed as stage IV, and I currently am on Herceptin, Zoladex, and Femara, as well as Zometa.
Good luck!
Jill
