@jmab
I was also taking that lower dose . That medication makes me too nervous with the uterine cancer it can cause. It’s also not as effective in post menopausal women. That’s just my own personal thoughts on it. My oncologist did say it’s still a good medication even though it is not be as effective as an AI. I’m really surprised that they don’t have anything better with all the research and funding they receive. Maybe someday.

@marygb I hear you. My ILC was very early stage 1, no nodes, hopefully low risk. I didn't really want to take any blockers at all! So, the half-dose of Tam felt like a good compromise. And now, 2 months later I'm feeling more & more like my old self. Plus, honestly, the side effects from AI's (bone loss, joint pain, high cholesterol) scare me more than those with Tamoxifen! Which is why we each have to make our own choices. There's no right or wrong. But I believe it's valuable, sharing all of our stories. Best wishes to you!
