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?
I’m finding it difficult to get any specific information like that from my oncologist. It’s all very vague.
She ideally wants me to be on “Zoladex & an Aromatase Inhibitor”, but could also try “Zoladex & Tamoxifen”
The “Zoladex and AI” is the most effective at stopping any recurrence. But from what I understand I’m low risk, like yourself (I had clear lymph nodes & I didn’t need chemo or radiation), so I don’t know why she wants to put me on the strongest combination, for 2 years.. it’s 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!
