DEar Lil,
AS an added thought. I have known some women, by suggestions from their
Docs to go to Megace first and if that doesnt work to go to ARemidex or
vice versa, and not to start on Tamoxifen. They are basically from
similar hormone family but different in reactions and results. The old
belief was to treat with Tamoxifen first, and if that doesnt work then
to step to Megace, and then Aremidex if that doesnt work. That is not
the belief anymore for may Doctors. Hope this helps additionally.
God Bless You,
marty
