I 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?

Starting a new medication like tamoxifen can bring up many questions and concerns, especially while still recovering from surgery. Many community members have shared helpful experiences about managing side effects and what to expect during treatment, so connecting with others who've been on similar journeys can provide valuable insights and reassurance during this time.
