a month agoI am four weeks post bilateral mastectomy. Stage 0 DCIS in right breast and Stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma in left breast. Sentinal Node biopsy came back benign. My breast surgeon and oncologist suggested taking tamoxifen. Any one here who can provide support and advice?

It's encouraging that your medical team is being proactive with your care plan, and connecting with others who have taken this medication can provide valuable insights and emotional support.
