Anyone partaking in this clinical trial for low dose Tam?

@whitehairwisdom I am also 68 and have been on Letrozole for 2 years and I was having bone pain, and terrible dry eye, and I went to the oncologist today and I just said 5 mg of Tam or nothing. She tried to talk me out of it but I insisted on it. I am with you after all these years of research on breast cancer this is all they can do for us? I was supposed to be on Letrozole for another 8 years! I would have no bones or eyes left!!

@carolsue1234 I asked my Doc to prescribe the 20 mg Tamoxifen she wants me on, but get it in 10 mg. pills. She knew I was wanting to do the ten, which I did for 3 weeks. Then because of headaches & lots of joint pain I decided to reduce to 5 mg. She would NOT even answer my written request for 10 mg. tabs. She does not want me on 5mg saying it's not effective. It seems she views patients as not having a say in their dosage. I'm going to make a change.

@carolsue1234 I am 72 & talked my oncologist into prescribing 10 mg of Tam instead of the usual 20. I'm doing ok with the 10.
