I got off chemo several months ago for breast cancer, HER2 positive.. I had radiation also. I don't want to take Tamoxifen. It didn't make me feel well. I talked to a friend who was miserable on it for 3 years and finally stopped. She said our oncologist admitted it only improved the chances of cancer not coming back by 2%. I asked him and he agreed that was true. He is going to find something else for me.

I also am her2 positive, if you are also estrogen positive, I would hope that your doctor explained the higher risk of recurrence and poorer outcomes with this type of cancer. I question everything and I hedged my bets and took everything. You can find information on most everything on the internet if you look. It has still been a long and winding road with this cancer. I am grateful for the life I have but enduring side effects is certainly part of that life. I hope you will have an easier time of it but I also hope you will keep an open mind about treatments. Drugs act different on everyone, some people do great on one and some people do great on a different one.
