I am in the same situation. Same diagnosis, but intermediate/high grade. I had surgery and have started radiation. My doctor does want me to start tomaxifin (even though I am 67) but I am leaning towards not doing it because of my other health issues and concerns about side effects. I’m still trying to sort oout the percentages. Anyone else in the same situation? Diana
