I can fully understand your reasoning, @Flaneuse - it is such a personal decision & only you can make it - and with the possible side effects after going thru so much already? Both my sister-in-law's mothers were on Tamoxifen for 10 years about 20+ years ago (when in their late 60s) and are in their 90s now.
It 'could be worth a punt' for a month or three - if it doesn't suit, easy enough to stop it. I will be asking about an alternative to Exemestane (after not suiting Letrozole either) - so may end up on it too?
I thought Tamoxifen was supposed to be for women who haven't been thru menopause ..... so did the Onc give the reasoning behind changing back to that?
All the best with your decision making xxxx
