I'm not on A.I.'s (yet) so I found this thread quite interesting. I am also minimally ER pos (< 15%). My onc felt also that the benefits outweighed the side effects to put me on tamoxifen. So, the plan is to eventually put me on A.I.'s.
I was wondering however -of the ladies that have hot flashes, which I KNOW are unbearable, did your onc's put you on anything to counteract them? I have been taking a 1/2 dose of Effexor (37.5 mg) and I have not had a hot flash for over a year. A while back I did not get my refill on time and I missed 2 days of Effexor and I thought I was going to implode. For me it really works. I know we all hate taking this for that and that for this, but at this point, if it helps- I will take it!
I hope that in five years something else is invented that may work as well with even less side effects...
