I'm glad things are going so well.
Before anyone accepts Tamoxifen, look up the side effects - I was offered that as a preventive measure, to stop any more lumps growing but I refused after I found out it can cause uterine cancer, blood clots, headaches, hot flushes, fatigue, nausea, skin problems.........
The doctors felt it would only have a 50/50 benefit and accepted my decision not to take it.
It's great as a treatment for breast cancer but I think it has too many risks if it's taken just as a preventative.
