I have a oncotype score of 22. My oncologist preferred I take an AI with bone meds. I did go on an AI for a couple months which caused very achey joints and hairloss not to mention I found out I had osteoporosis. I was not
willing to take the bone
meds so she agreed to the 5 mg tamoxifen. I read about a study being done in Italy and though it is not completed the lower dose looks pretty promising. You should be able to google it and read more about it. There’s also a new med that’s set to be released later this year which is more effective than the meds they have now. I’m going to try that one once approved. It’s a very hard decision. I hope and pray that all of us find something that will work.

@marygb Thank you for sharing this. What is the new med to be released this year that is expected to be more effective? Can you give any more info that would help us identify and research it please?
