Hi
I first had breast cancer in 1991, was treated with lumpectomy , radiotherapy, chemotherapy and then 8 years of Tamoxifen.
In September 2000 the bc recurred with spread to my liver. I had more chemo, Arimidex, more chemo, Megace and more chemo! I am getting weekly Herceptin for control.
However my consultant has suggested putting me back on Tamoxifen. I refused as I had read somewhere that Tamoxifen could promote breast cancer growth after the patient has taken it for a long time. However I am concerned that I am estrogen and progesterone positive, and that this is not being exploited in the effort to control my cancer.
What do you think?
Thanks
