Thumbs down best tests for reoccurance and Tamoxifen vs other treatments?

Hi - is there a standard test for keeping yourself checked for cancer reoccurance? I hear the term tumor markers, and as I am still in treatment not sure when that starts or if there is something else I can do to keep myself safe.

Also, when I started all this I was peri-menopausal and now thrown into full? menopause. Does this mean that I should start with femara or Arimidex as opposed to Tamoxifen? My Onc seems to think we should wait and see if periods resume and then decide. What about removing ovaries? Is that a standard treatment for most? I am stage3,er+pr+ her2-2+3+ 7of20 nodes
