Tamoxifin question

[nicktheory]

I seem to read that this works about 80 percent of the time on gyno. But I also read it works best on new gyno. So, percentage-wise, approximately, what does this mean for a 50-year-old with moderate gyno since adolesence? 50/50? Does the cause matter? Raise the odds? Lower?

Pretty low chance of it helping much.

So I assume this 80 percent figure should be, in reality, 80 percent of adolescent cases?

I would echo the earlier comments.  It is my understanding that Tamoxifen will halt the growth of gyne, but only actually reduce it in the early stages of growth.  It appears that if someone has had gyne for more than a couple of years than only surgery will remove it.

If your gyne and the fat has gone fibrous, which it will have considering the lentgth of time you have had it.....novadex/tamoxifen will not cure it nor will arrimadex.
