Tamoxifen is used to treat estrogen positive breast cancer (BC), there is another med that is used to treat progesterone positive BC.
Tamoxifen is a single tablet once a day and this slows or stops the bodies production of estrogen starving the tumour and helping to prevent any returning or the chance of mets/ secondaries.
I started on the Tamoxifen last night, I don't need the progesterone med becasue I am ER+ but PR- and am continuing on with my Herceptin (had my 1st solo herceptin on Monday) as I am also HER2 +.
