at higher risk?
Hi, is your friend for some reason at high risk of a new primary in the other breast (like BRCA mutation or strong family history, lobular cancer, etc?)?
Tamoxifen is used for prevention in high-risk women, but they have a hard time showing their benefit is greater than their risk (of side effects).
I might be a good idea for your friend to get a second opinion before starting Tamoxifen. And if it's contrary, maybe even a 3rd one. It could be done remotely (phone, fax, email).
Maybe there's more to this story than we know?
