3 years agoIf I am not able to take tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor what does that mean for me?
Accepted Answer
This sounds like a really challenging situation, and it's completely understandable to have concerns about treatment options when standard hormone therapies aren't suitable. While hormone-blocking medications like tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors are commonly discussed, there may be other treatment approaches available depending on your specific diagnosis and circumstances. Consider bringing this question to your oncology team, as they can review your complete medical picture and discuss alternative options that might be appropriate for your situation.
