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?
Iām finding it difficult to get any specific information like that from my oncologist. Itās all very vague.
She ideally wants me to be on āZoladex & an Aromatase Inhibitorā, but could also try āZoladex & Tamoxifenā
The āZoladex and AIā is the most effective at stopping any recurrence. But from what I understand Iām low risk, like yourself (I had clear lymph nodes & I didnāt need chemo or radiation), so I donāt know why she wants to put me on the strongest combination, for 2 years.. itās 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!
