It has been well documented that tamoxifen does not work very efficiently in Her 2+ women and AI's work better and that AIs with Herceptin work best.

I started off with Tamoxifen and then got my ovaries removed and switched to Arimidex (with adjuvant Herceptin) to make the best go of it against chance of recurrance. I am 46 and was Stage 2A (1.9cm tumor, 1/10 nodes, Her 2 (3+), ER 50%, PR negative).

Hope this helps,

Best regards,

Becky
