Breast Cancer

I (58) have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and have had a partial mastectomy, I have had Addison's Disease for 8 years and am on cortison for this.  Because of my low hormone levels I have been taking Livial/Tibilone.   After much research about Livial I have found that it does increase the chances of getting breast cancer (which I was told it did not) and even more so cancer of the uterus (which i still have).    
I need to know if there are other addisonians that have taken Livial and had ended up with breast cancer.
