It is a very complex situation and only an oncologist or a nurse who works in oncology is best suited to answer your question. Please speak to your oncologist for best advice.

Not certain about whether Faslodex is the best answer, but I haven't had any side effects, other than some soreness where the shots were given along with one time swelling--rubbing the area helps get rid of it. The nurses seem to be aware of how to give this--I stand up and lean on the opposite foot of where they put the shot. Some people get both at the same time --two nurses give at the same time.
I have 12 mm lung nodule and some lymph nodes involved--original breast cancer was in 1984. Back then I was on tamoxifin 9 years and then nothing, until Jan 2009, put on Arimidex--had side effects on muscles, joints, feet, etc.
Didn't have trouble in May 2010. In August 2010 looked like it was slowing growing lung nodule. they took me off the Arimidex. They are not even staging me. Some doctors would say it is stage 4, but breast cancer of the lung on ER people grows really slow. I have never had chemo or radiation.
So, you need to talk to the onc and he or she can give you the options.
