Is tamoxifen alone enough after early breast cancer?

Fear after unexpected news is very common, and this community of people with HR+ HER2- breast cancer is here to listen. Whether tamoxifen alone is enough after early breast cancer depends on many personal factors, such as tumor details and genomic test results, so the oncology team is the best source for what the plan means for you. Many people find it helpful to bring a list of questions to their next appointment, like how the results shape the treatment recommendation and what the plan aims to achieve. Others here may be willing to share what they learned while waiting for results and making decisions.

Early Sept 2025. Lumpectomy 2.9 cm, grade 2. Surgeon got good clear margins but 2 of 6 nodes were also involved. No lvi. Post menopause. Im 68. Low oncotype score. No chemo. 20 rad treatments with boost at last 5. Requested DEXA scan before I agreed to take AI meds to get a baseline. Letrozole for 5 years…I am 10 months into the 5 yrs now. I researched EVERY treatment and read everything I could get my hands on before I started anything. I asked a lot of questions and still do.
