Feel free to fill us in on what treatment you've had so far .... what your diagnosis was & how far along your treatment plan you are.
Have you seen your Medical Oncologist yet? THEY are the ones who will advise you on which hormone blocker you will be taking - not your Radiologist (who is trained in a different field.) After my surgery, My surgeon suggested that I would be put onto Tamoxifen ..... but my Medical Onc started me on Letrozole, then Exemestane, and finally, the one that suited me best, Anastrozole (for the last 5 years!). LOL ... Tamoxifen is the only Hormone Blocker I HAVEN'T tried!!!
Take care & all the best
