Thank you ladies for responding to my original post. Apologies for the delay in responding. I had to take some time out as it was all getting a bit too much and was not in a good head space.
I guess the primary reason the oncologist recommended AI over Tamoxifen was that research has shown that AI + Zoladex for pre-menapausal women was more effective in stopping recurrence than Tamoxifen + Zoladex.
However, since my last post I have had a double mastectomy and now oncologist no.1 is saying that she's happy for me to be on Tamoxifen + Zoladex. As i will be getting ovaries removed after the age of 40+, I would then switch over to AI. So in total, 10 years of hormone treatment.
In short, f u cancer...
