Thanks for your opinion, Lauriesh.

I am not telling her what to do or eat/not eat. She is taking her own decisions based on what she deems fit and what her doc advises her to do or eat.

I just wonder whether use of tamoxifen gives a "definite proof" that her cancer isn't going to come back? You see, I doubt that it does. The research and studies on tamoxifen actually prove the opposite. OK, fine, maybe that particular type of cancer wouldn't come back, but the other one, the more agressive kind might (brought about by the drug). And then there is no treatment and no cure.

You do not have to remind me that this is her "fight". I know that perfectly, thank you. I did not research on cancer before she actually requested that I help her with obtaining some information on the "cure". I wouldn't be saying anything if I wasn't asked.
