Dianne -
Just curious as to why you were on tamoxifin if you were post-menopausal?? Perhaps I am missing something but I understand that to be the standard for pre-menopausal women.
I do agree with you about weighing the factors being low est-positive. I am in that catagory too but have had a total hyst. so am on aromasin. Often wonder if I should be??
