I was told after my mastectomy, (didn't need chemo or radiotherapy) and am on tamoxifen that I AM CURED!!! and I'm going to run with that one. Was told as I'm PR+ and E+ that the tamoxifen will starve any remaining cancer cells - I did ask whether that meant they are starving to death? And was told no they will go into hibernation. So now I tend to look on their hibernation in a fairy tale kind of way where they can sleep for the next 400years and I won't be around to care :-).
