jeaniebean,
I totally understand what you are saying. We all have to make a decision regarding our own circumstances whether or not we will take this drug. I have severe osteoarthritis and this drug was horrible for me. I am 74 years old with a rare immune disease and my tumor was low estrogen positive so my oncologist did not think it was important for me to continue with this drug however if I had been young and had high estrogen positive tumor and this could make a difference in decades of life the decision could have been quite different. WE all have to look at our own situation and determine what we think is the best decision. ( Isn't it crazy how bad the bone pain in your hands can get!!!)

I do think though that if you are young you should look at how estrogen positive your pathology was and see if there is anything else that you could do to lower your chances of malignancy.
