Hi, 

I've had chemo, surgery, radiotherapy, immunotherapy and now I'm having endocrine therapy. 

I have tamoxifen daily for ten years and Zoladex injections every four weeks for ten years..I'm only 33 so very much pre menopause.

So tamoxifen I find much easier than chemo. I have some side effect including hot flushes (particularly at night) and some joint pain. But your oncologist should work with you to combat flushes somewhat. 

From what I've researched hormone therapy is significant in regards to me avoiding a recurrence. Have you looked at predict breast cancer ? 

It shows how much on average your treatments will help. 

Any questions I'm here

Hi Phili, iv not heard of the predicted breast cancer, can I just ask for it?  It's good to know your coping well with tamoxifen how long have you been taking it? I'm really confused as to which treatment to go with I also need it for 10 years. They have asked if I want to suppress my ovaries along side another hormone treatment(iv forgotten the name of it) but then I would be in effect forcing myself into menopause which I wonder is it worth doing oor letting it happen naturally? I'm really confused xx
