Re: ER/PR negative survivors
Hi Christy,
It was me regarding the tamoxifen. Let me clarify. My Breast CA was right side whuch was er pr neg. My Lfet mastectomy was oen prophylactively which revealed atypia and hyperplasia( abnormal cells). The standard of care tx for these abnormal cells is Tamoxifen. So I initially went with that. However, I learned afterward Tamoxifne had no value for me as the Cancer morphology of the Right breast Cancer superceeds tx for " the other incidental finding in the left which was NOT a BC.
Hope that helps!
