I just went off Anastrozole and about to try 20mg Tamoxifen. I am 75, early stage. Now reading about weight gain and other side effects from Tamoxifen. At my age I don't want to be in misery! The first oncologist I saw explained that my risk of reoccurrence is 15% AI reduces that by one half. I'll try tamoxifen for 90 days but am seriously considering going off all AI's.

Did your oncologist base the 15% recurrence risk on genomic or other tests of tumor tissue?

I am 81. I decided AL's were not for me. My mental misery is just to much on them. If I get cancer again, I'll take Herceptin, being HER2+ , but not Taxol and I'll have radiation.
