    Anyone else have to take an estrogen blocker? There was a slight 'stain' on one of my tests so I will need to take an E blocker for 5 years. Has this happened to anyone else?

    What do you mean by slight stain? What exactly does the pathology report say?

    I am 44 with tnbc with negative genetic testing and my onc still wants me to take lupron to stop my periods which returned. He said that they have had women come back with a cancer that is estrogen positive . So i have same issue and not sure if i should just do a hysterectomy and be done with it as i had an ablation in the past for heavy painful periods and are back after all my chemo and surgery

    I'm in a similar situation, my surgical pathology showed 2% ER+ and my MO mentioned Tamoxifen. I'm just starting rads and I have until I see her again in Nov to make a decision. I will most likely give it a go (she said I could try it for 3-6 months and see how it goes), I want to throw everything that I can at this.
