to take Tamoxifen or not

Hi Blake, Your treatment post surgery will depend on the pathology of your breast tumour. The things that they look at are size, location, grade, hormone receptors, presence of cancer cells in lymph nodes and so on. Your surgeon should go through the results with you and don't be afraid to ask questions about anything you don't understand. This is your body and you have every right to question everything. Have you seen a medical oncologist? They are the ones who decide if the you need chemotherapy or not. Your radiation oncologist decides on the radiotherapy treatment. John Boyages book "breast cancer, taking control" might be a great resource for you as it explains every step of the journey. It can be bought through this site. Not everyone needs chemo or hormone therapy or radiation after surgery. It is all tailored to suit the individual according to their pathology. We're all here for you, and I hope this little bit of info helps xxx Dan
