Hi, @100154 - you asked about the comment in the post from @geronimo1 about an oncologist stating that tamoxifen, letrozole (Femara) and anastrozole (Arimidex) only make a 1% difference, if tolerated. We are not medical professionals on Mayo Clinic Connect and don't offer medical advice, but other members who have taken some of these medications can offer their input from their experiences. Glad you've connected with @cancersucks. Hoping that @buckimom @lisman1408 @trixie1313 @jeannie53 and others also will offer their thoughts.
Will you share any of your experiences with these medications, @100154, and how you feel they have gone for you?

Yes my oncologist has shared that Tamoxifen and Letrozole , Anastrozole etc only improve risk by 1% to me. This is down to my treatment and my type of tumour. She has agreed that she would not worry too much if I stop taking them.Depends on the severity of the side effects. If you don't know the impact of your medications either do the PREDICT software or maybe ask your oncologist .
