It is so wonderful to see how much you love your sister. You are both so lucky to have each other.

My mother had breast cancer at 59 and had to take tamoxifin for 10 years. Although she did have side effects (raging hot flashes), the tamoxifin did work. She died of dementia related issues at 81 without ever having any further issues with breast cancer. Throughout her life she was very strict about eating healthy foods and always exercising. She was never a smoker, never overweight, never a drug user, and no family history of cancer. However she did get cancer. Did the tamonifin "cure" her? We'll never know. However, she BELIEVED that it did. Everyday when she took the tamoxifin, she was confident that this was the "cure". Because she felt so strongly that it was the "cure", I believe in her case it was. The mind is a very power full.

My cancer is not ER+ so I do not need to take tamoxifin. However, I do believe in using non-orthodox methods to supplement chemo, surgery, and radiation. There is a great book that I'd recommend that explains these methods (Anti-cancer, a new way of life). Perhaps your sister would be open to some of these methods.

Bottom line, your sister will need to find a treatment(s) that she believes in. Nobody has this cancer thing figured out yet so we each need to do our research and then select a treatment that we believe will work for us.

Good luck to you and your sis.
