Re: Tamoxifen has become an issue
Europa,
With an ER status of 10% and PR of 5% I just do not think I would continue on the anti-hormonal therapy especially with all the associated side effects you have experienced. The benefit vs safety issues seems clear to me. Is your Onc. pushing you to continue? I'd dump that crap in the nearest crapper and go on with living. You have done nearly 3.5 years of Tamoxifen which is commendable for anyone and hugely so in light of your many complications.
