Hi, I was not hormone responsive so it was not an issue to try Tamoxefin, I tried Femara as I went into early menopause from the chemo but it did nothing for me, later down the track I tried Aromasin and it shrunk some enlarged lymphs in my neck. I was told that Aromasin is one of the preferred drugs used when Tamoxefin no longer works. I had a friend on Tamoxefin for 12 months and for the whole time she had breathing problems and unbeknown she was developing clots on her lungs but this was not detected until she had 6 and it became a big issue, they were found when a CT was done while lying on her stomach. It seems that as our status can change it is a matter of trial and error, I know the Aromasin for me stopped eostrogen growing because I had to use Ovastin cream when I had a PAP smear and then it would come back normal.
Love & Hugs Lyn
