Soft option Trial v. Zoladex/tamoxifen
Soft option Trial v. Zoladex/tamoxifen Hi
Finished chemo, rads in march. my onc is talking about the soft option trial which has three bands a. tamoxifen, b. tamoxifen plus zoladex, c. zoladex plus exemenstane or carry on as i am taking tamoxifen or tamoxifen plus zoladex. part of me feels I should definately have zoladex injections. is anyone else in this position I am 39 yrs. not sure about the trial as obviously would mean lots more hospital visits but then that may be reassuring too!
any tips grateful thanks.
Zoladex Not sure if I can be of any help. Although I am not on any trial I was on tamoxifen the switched to aromasin(exemenstane) after two and a half years. I am also having the zoladex injections and have been since my treatment finished nearly three years ago. Just wanted to let you know I have no problems at all and going for the injection each month is no hardship to me. I am on a trial for a bone drug called azure and I go for blood tests every few months. I find it reassuring to be having extra tests, I regard it as a bonus. Probably no help to you!
good luck

Hi Bakers Hi Bakers,
Check how long you would need to be on these drugs.
I wasn’t on a trial but was given zoladex injections and tamoxifen for two years rather than being on tamoxifen alone for five years.
Best wishes,
