@mchler73 My understanding is that an AI shows what is labeled “significant” better outcomes than Tamoxifen but that they’re talking very minor differences in risk. In the scheme of things a half a percent of risk, while maybe scientifically significant, might not be important to me.
I agree with any heart issues an AI should be critically evaluated for how your entire health would be benefited or not.

I’m editing this before edit window closes - I’m leaving my original comment above. But I just searched about Tamoxifen and skin cancer - looks like it acts as an agonist to estrogen availability in the skin, and may increase the risk of developing skin cancer. I know this is your other concern right now.
The link for the info below - but you may want to investigate further. I’m sorry that the decision making is like a game of Jenga. Which block will hold it all up, and which will topple it.

Interesting! Thank you so much for the information and link! I will discuss with my Oncologist and see what her recommendation is.

Yes, it’s so hard to know what to do with all of the different side effects, which one is worse in the long run…..
