Going my way: Decided to stop cancer treatments

@nannybb Tamoxifen wasn't the first drug suggested for my post-menopausal estrogen positive breast cancer--at least in my experience. Letrozole was the oncologist's first choice, and I've stayed on it without problems. I gather that if the class of AIs doesn't work Tamoxifen might be suggested, but no doubt cases vary.

@mir123 I am taking a half-dose (10 mg) of Tamoxifen for my stage 1 ILC because I need the bone protection. So far, so good.

@mir123 I was mostly asking because I wondered if what you are on is a newer version. When my mom was on Tamoxifen, there was an ongoing controversy over it. Maybe what you are taking is better. Mom's cancer was several years ago. Thank you for responding. 💕
