My Fellow Tamoxifen Users: While searching the cyber hwy. I
read a paper that states that tamoxifen is actualy only known to work for 17
months; but they feel it will work for five year's. Wanted to bring this
to your attention. I do not know how long elvista works and I wish I could
find out that when you go off of tamoxifen, could you go onto another like
elvista. I will keep searching for this answer.... Your
friend, lillian -
