@brooklyn22 I'll just say what you've probably heard a million time already...most women do fine on hormone blockers. It's the minority of women who suffer very real, awful side effects that speak out in online discussions about their issues. And yes, it sounds scary. The women who are doing ok have largely moved on & are out living their lives. I've just started taking 10 mg (half-dose) of Tamoxifen & doing fine so far. I'd suggest you at least try a hormone blocker & see how you do. They do help keep the cancer away, that's a proven fact.
