Hi Jen, stage 2, 47 now, premenopausal, now chemopausal. My fogged brain seems to have concluded that AI's are more effective by some percentage point and have less side effects(ie uterine cancer)if you are post menopausal.
The onc said I can switch on my one year anniversary of chemopause to AI' s from tamoxifen. I imagine they'll do blood work on estradiol levels to see if I'm in menopause. Onc says if you're not truly in menopause the AI's have zero efficacy. There are studies recruiting now to evaluate ovary ablation and AI v. the usual with tamoxifen. So it may be worthwhile to look into a study. Try "clinical care options" on google. BB
