Not allowed Tamoxifen - Recurrence?

No, @MezDiaz
If Tamoxifen was absolutely necessary your medical team would be stressing that.
Take heart as I was diagnosed 4 years ago and for various reasons Tamoxifen was out of the question - and I am still here. I feel blessed not having the multiple side-effects from the drug as any of them would have made my daily living far worse !
Some ladies are on Tamoxifen and still get a recurrence so who knows - it is all in the lap of the gods.
Please take your advice from your medical team and have no regrets - live every day the best you can, be healthy and be happy.
Sending big non-Tamoxifen hugs your way. Summer <3
