Does anyone have any insight or recommendations from drs re tamoxifen or ai's for estrogen negative tumors? Mine is weakly 30.% progesterone positive.

Already have mood issues and painful intercourse issues from taxotere. Used to have migraines before tx, worry they will return w tamoxifen.

It has been recommended, but wonder benefit given estrogen negative status

    I am ER negative and weak PR positive 15%. MO wants me to take Arimidex in the fall after I recover from whole breast radiation which mapping is June 23. I am researching and so far think I might opt NOT to start drug. Good luck, hope you feel better

    I'm on Arimidex, not Tamoxifin. I've questioned my MO whether or not it's beneficial for me to continue taking it. I'm 25% ER+ and 50% PR+ She said even those who are 1% ER+ can benefit and being PR+ also helps. So, I continue to take it and hope.

    Good luck to you.
