Hi All: I'm going to the gyn. on Monday for an eval. My periods started back up again after 1 year. I guess we're going to talk about ooph. I'll know more next week.

Dr. Edith Perez says that for those hr+ women who have had adjuvent Herceptin, there isn't (yet) any DFS difference between those who took Tamox and those who took an AI. Time may tell a different story, but there is a lot of data out there that does not account for the adjuvent use of Herceptin.

Me, I'm happily on Tamox. I was highly both ER and PR positive. I am too young for menopause and after consulting with three different Oncs, they all recommended the Tamox, so I let it go at that. Shutting down or removing the ovaries at a young age can have serious health consequences that should be considered.
