Hi
I'm currently still teaching a small group children each week during the pandemic. I'm going into my 3rd year following breast cancer and surgery, now on tamoxifen. I do worry about the risks. Is anyone in a similar position? Should I still be in close contact
I have found this from a clinical nurse on Breast Cancer Now website. I take Anastrozole and know that this has no effect on the immune system (same with Letrozole), but I wasn't sure about Tamoxifen. Seems it is the same.
Hope this helps and best wishes,
Thank you for your message!
Best wishes and stay safe x
