Hello could anyone please tell me that if I take tamoxifen it will help as I have read up on this drug it seems that alot of people stopped taking them due to side effects ruining the quality of life 

In the information I have it says people diagnosed with early breast cancer called ductal carcinoma it says the benefits are less clear mine was 9mm in size removed in surgery and due to have radiotherapy lymph nodes do not have any cancer present 

Please can anyone help I hope it makes sense it is my first time on a community site 

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community

    I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question, but if you join the breast cancer group you can repost your question and share experiences with others who are living with this type of cancer.

    To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

  • Hi

    To post your message you first need to join the breast cancer group. 

    To do that click on the words 'breast cancer group' (green writing) in my original reply to you.

    This will take you to the group where you need to choose 'join this group'.

    You can then post your question by selecting 'start a discussion'.
