Tamoxifen blocks estrogen from attaching to cancer cells, while aromatase inhibitors stop other hormones from turning into estrogen, so they only work for us postmenopausal ladies. My insurance covered genetic testing, which showed a high risk of recurrence, so my doctor insisted on aromatase inhibitors despite the joint pain. I stick with them because my policy fully covers bone density scans and physiotherapy to manage the side effects—a luxury my mother never had in her small town.
