Yes , but you will probably be switched to an AI. You body can convert fat tissue and I think "cholesterol "?? Or something like that into hormones

@AmyMoffit is correct. No more Tamoxifen now you will take the AI inhibitors. I was given the choice of having my ovaries removed and was told I would be on these.
