No worries @CRM!
I forgot to say @Emelon1 in regards to deciding to take any of the endocrine therapy (tamoxifen, zoladex or aromatase inhibitors) its a matter of risk vs benefit. If you're hormone receptors weren't particularly high then maybe it might only add an extra 5% benefit to you...you can play around with the PREDICT tool with your BC info and see about survival data if you want, or discuss more deeply with your onc and surgeon
For me; my tumour was >95% ER/PR+, 50mm and I had one node positive, at 27..I get an extra 15% for taking the prescribed therapy at the moment
If in three years I have severe osteoporosis, heart disease and have broken bones..well, I might reconsider because I might be more likely to die at that point from a stroke then BC. But right now, BC is my battle and the sure one to get me soonest.
Does that make sense? I hope so.
There are many women who stop taking these because of the side effects, you wouldn't be alone.
