Hi
I am still in "chemopause", but still considered premenaupausal. I take Tamoxifen for just 5% ER positive BC.
I have seen that many HER2's that are ER/PR positive eventually have their ovaries removed in order to reduce risk of recurrance. Are you menaupausal? If so, than I understand the AI's to be the drug of choice.
I finished chemo in March and began Herceptin in July. I continue to take Tamoxifen too. I will remain on the Herceptin for a year and at the 1yr anniversary of my chemo- we will re-evaluate whether I stay on Tamoxifen or go on AI.
You do need to consider bone loss w/AI's.
Don't bang your head about it! This website has tons of info and experiences from HER2's. I had to seek 3 different opinions regarding my treatment, until I found what worked best for me. Don't be scared to that if you need to!
Warmly, Maria
