Hello!
I have recently started 5mg of tamoxifen after not tolerating the 3 - AI’s. So far so good with a couple of caveats: fatigue and what feels like an irritated bladder.
I am 65 post-menopause with IDC, ER and PR positive and her2-. I believe I am supposed to take 10mg for IDC but need to reconfirm with onco.
Not sure that is helpful but will look for your experience too!
