Tamox/ cancer ?

[shifty_git]

On my research travels ive read that here in the uk they use tamox around the time of cancer and in the so many years after while in a relapse danger zone, then once past that put on arimidex to 'cruise' if you like.

but then we pay a standard perscription charge for every drug, so there must be a 'medical' reason for doing so.....

I thought there should be a reason, but the only one given was that she can only take tamox for 5 yrs then you have to change.

Thanks for the response. I guess I need to go to her next dr's. appointment with her. I worked in the medical field 10yrs before launching this career.
