duga35, I would definately ask for the herceptin at the least for 12 months. Her2 is very aggressive. I think one of the other side effects of tamoxifen is cataracts, so if you have vision problems see an eye doctor. My onc just put me on tamoxifen after trying arimidex and aromasin. I had many side effects with these. Anyone else postmenopausal and taking tamoxifen? I know it works if premenopausal, so I would like some input from those who are postmenopausal and taking it.
