I am 5% ER+ and PR-
Of the 3 opinions I received, ALL concluded that Tamoxifen would provide some good, although no one knows how much because of the "borderline". I'm on Tamoxifen for my miniscule 5% ER+
We figured, 5% is more than zero and worth the added miniscule benefit. I am in menopause due to the chemo... I am 43 yrs old and diagnosed in July 2004. Stage 1 and negative nodes. Did chemo and radiation.
From what I have read, borderliners like us can take Tamoxifen with some added benefit. I would much rather have all the ammo I can get. I am also on Herceptin since July '05 ( I started Herceptin after chemo).
I plan to have the ovaries out because I have learned that Tamoxifen combined with the Herceptin lessens the efficacy of the Herceptin. I will then get Arimidex. If I were not on Herceptin I would stay on the Tamoxifen.
Decisions, decisions...
