Hi @MMAN, I had hormone positive, Her2 negative, grade 3 and a ki67 at 69%. I had surgery, 4 months chemo and 1 month radium. No lymph involvement and now take Letrozole. Started on tamoxifen but changed due to side effects. I am getting pain in my hands but not too bad. I might change the hormone suppression treatment again when I see the oncologist in Dec.
I was diagnosed in April 2020 so active treatment finished this time of year in 2020. I queried needing hormone suppression treatment but my oncologist explained that the hormone suppression treatment was actually 60% of my treatment plan. This was largely due to grade 3 cells and a high ki67 indicator.
Initially I had no side effects on tamoxifen but then side effects kicked in after 20 months so hence the change. Talk to your oncologist and ask what percentage tge hormone suppression is of your treatment. If it is a big part of it like mine is, give it a go. You may find you have no issues and if you do, your oncologist can always look at other AI meds. Good luck
