Re: Confusion about taking tamox....thoughts
Hi Linn, I was one of those people who decided on an ooph to take Arimidex and have no regrets and will be taking it up to ten years in total, I've been taking it seven years so far. I really didn't like the potential serious side effects of Tamox but feel its important we hormone positive's take some form of hormone therapy to help with the risk of recurrance, its a tough decision and I hope you're happy with whatever you decide on.
