Thank you for your quick reply. I also had a lumpectomy with no node involvement. A protein beam wasn’t offered. I didn’t think tamoxifen was an option for us post menopausal gals. I’ll mention that if the other AIs are a problem. Best to you!

@nanato6 I had stage 2 lobular cancer with no lymph node involvement. Along with the oncologist, I decided against hormone therapy due to my age, almost 80. I was also told that Tamoxifen was not given to postmenopausal women. I had 5 days of radiation, with no side effects or damage to the skin. I recently had a follow-up appointment with my surgeon. He said I would continue to have follow-ups with the breast clinic every 6 months and an annual mammogram. Good luck to you and all of us on this journey.

AI’s are more effective in post menopausal women. I’m on the border so starting with Tamoxifen and following my hormones to switch over to AI. Reading the side effects is overwhelming.
