Is It Necessary To Take Tamoxifen If You Are Only 1% Estrogen Receptor Positive
The % of helpfulness is new to me. What is that medical terms? I got a blood test back and it stated that my cancer was un-dectable so why take the drug?
Ask for a prognosticating calculator to determine just exactly how much (%) it benefits you. Every woman is different. I was 95% ER+ but Tamoxifen only benefitted me 1%! I stopped it and never looked back. That was 5 years ago 😊
I too only have 1% improvement and estrogen positive. I have trialed Tamoxifen for 3 months now and was weighing up the side effects. To be fair it has been extremely hot here presently so I can really say the Tamoxifen is making the night sweats. It is however playing havoc with my Lady Parts. I will give it another 3 months and then decide if its worth the 10 year plan.
I was estrogen positive too. 2% was mine. My Dr said I should stay on hormone blocker to keep cancer from coming back.
I am 100% HR and 95% PR, I am on a 5yr plan but why if my #s are so high? I now take anazo.. Lady parts , haha, lubes are needed, don,t forget to reapply. -0- body hair, Had to trim pubic hair because because is was so spotty, oh I still have facial hair, lol
