Hi, I too am not hormone responsive, post menopausal now, however I was given Aromasin for the last 2 years and at one stage it shrunk and destroyed enlarged nodes in my neck. I am off it at the moment because it blocked all eostrogen entirely, and I need to have my BC cells grow so the chemo can find them to destroy them, I know this because when I had my last Pap Smear it came back as irregular because there was no eostrogen and I then had to use an eostrogen cream Ovastin for one week before the next and it then came back normal. My own GP is able to give me a script for Aromasin and I am in Australia and we are 5 years behind the States. The blocker didn't keep the BC entirely away but I do believe it with the Herceptin slowed it down and degraded it to a less agressive BC this time. Hope this helps.
Love & Hugs Lyn
