Dear Debbie, and others,

I'm wary of Tamoxifen because, as I wrote in an earlier thread (Tamoxifen, LHRH, AI, oophorectomy?), dated Feb. 13, there are a couple of studies suggesting that her2neu/PR- is predictive of Tamoxifen resistance. (I believe you responded to that thread.)

My onc says he would not want me to take Zoladex for more than a few months, as a "bridge" to surgery, if I opt for that route.

Thanks,
Jane
