Hi @JaneinMelbourne, thank you so much for your response. Could I ask how you know your risk of recurrence is 0.5%? Is there a test? or did your oncologist work it out?
Iâm finding it difficult to get any specific information like that from my oncologist. Itâs all very vague.
She ideally wants me to be on âZoladex & an Aromatase Inhibitorâ, but could also try âZoladex & Tamoxifenâ
The âZoladex and AIâ is the most effective at stopping any recurrence. But from what I understand Iâm low risk, like yourself (I had clear lymph nodes & I didnât need chemo or radiation), so I donât know why she wants to put me on the strongest combination, for 2 years.. itâs interesting to hear that 1year could be ok too.
There is also a new study indicating that Tamoxifen needs a 9month detox/washout period before falling pregnant.. So that is adding another layer of confusion to the decision!
