Tamoxifen started...(what's the research say)
just started Tamoxifen. My onc wants me to begin on this drug before we make the decision to under go an oooph. Just wondering for those of you pre m are you feeling comfortable with taking this drug as a her2 pt. I start herceptin next week i think. I just got my period so chemo did not knock me into meno. Just not sure if i should think about monthly shots to suppress the ovaries then switch to AI's. My onc says he will switch me at some point, but say not all the research is back showing it is better to start on AI from get go. That infact it may be as effective to have started with tamoxifen then switch over due to how they cross talk. Help...what do you think? My next app is in May(3 mths). So should i
1) take tamox till may 2)then consider ovarie suppression 3) then switch it AI's and later on have ooph when i feel up for another surgery
or should i just stay on tamoxifen till I'm ready for ooph?
I'm triple positive, bilateral mast, have not had genetic testing yet but the onc does not think i am BRACA 1 or 2. In Canada these results take along time to come back. I will be having it done. thanks....
