I seldom am able to comment, but your case almost parallels mine . Since 2018 have had 2 lumpectomies in same breast. Did nothing the first time, but added 15 radiation and Tamoxifen treatments the second time in 2021.
Now (by July 2023 ) pain and tests verified metastases to the bones ( upper spine).
Oncologist stopped Tamoxifen and prescribed aromatase inhibitor(letroxole),which I hesitate to take due to its bone thinning effect (age 81). Will see him in a month at which time he will add herceptin and possibly bone augmenting drug, the latter I also am not happy about. Will discuss this all with him in a month from now.
Hope to share our treatment types and results.💕

Hi there , I thought for Estrogen positive post menopausal women don’t use Tamaxofin but only The aromatase Inhibitors . Due to the estrogen no longer being produced by ovaries. did they say why they put you on tamaxofin in 2021 when you where post menopausal? I was recently diagnosed . Am age 50 post menopause and even my second and third opinion doctors say I would be on Aromatse inhibitor as not a candidate for Tamoxifen. I will be getting a mastectomy in the right breast .
