Tamoxifin and Herceptin

[schoolteacher]

This Thursday I go back to the doctor to take my Herceptin and get my follow up blood work.

I really need advice about beginning Tamoxifin. I think I read one time about taking Tamoxifin and Herceptin together to get better results on this board. If any of you know any information about this, will you please let me know?

My oncologists said, "I could begin the Tamoxifin in December or I can wait until I finish the Herceptin in February." We don't know yet if I will stop the Herceptin in February since I was diagnosed as Stage IV in the beginning.

I do not really want to wait until February since my BC was estrogen driven.

I would greatly appreciate any advice that anyone can offer me concerning this next step in my journey. If there are any articles, I would greatly appreciate them too.

Thanks,
Amelia
