Worried about tamoxifen

[dberg]

You'd think that a year out of chemo I would be moving on, but all this talk about tamoxifen and her2 resistance is really gnawing at me. When I started tamoxifen last summer I was just beginning my year of "late" herceptin. Now that I'm done with the herceptin I feel like my safety net has been taken away. I have asked my onc about AIs twice but he just gives me the same "you were premenopausal when you were dx" dance. I am clearly in menopause now and want to have a frank discussion with him about switching. Can anybody give me suggestions on how I should approach this? I feel like I need to go in there with ammo!
