Tamoxifen - doubts???

I have my prescription for Tamoxifen sitting at home unfilled too...I have been thinking about this for a month since my BC surgeon gave me the good news that my bi-lat skin & nipple sparing mastectomy with no cancer in my sentinel node. She said I had two areas of cancer but both were small low grade stage 1 and I am both oestrogen & progesterone positive so I she was prescribing Tamoxifen. I asked why, if all the cancer was removed and practically all of the breast tissue with the back of my nipples being scraped off...what were my chances? She was surprised I was questioning her. But why not question it. She had to check with my rhuematologist if my risk of blood clotting would prevent me from taking this drug. Reading about all the other side effects and risks surely makes me question it. I'm not refusing it, but just taking my time, and I am considering starting it after I fully recover from my surgery, but I am not rushing to add more drugs to my life and think making healthy lifestyle changes are good enough for me today. There's a lot to absorb when you are on this learning curve.
