@mir123 I was mostly asking because I wondered if what you are on is a newer version. When my mom was on Tamoxifen, there was an ongoing controversy over it. Maybe what you are taking is better. Mom's cancer was several years ago. Thank you for responding. 💕

@nannybb It's good to be aware that, because some women have trouble with the standard dose of 20mg of Tamoxifen, some are decreasing to 5 mg (sometimes called "Baby Tam"); my Doc says "It's not approved by the FDA" but there is a new 5 year study in the US to see if it's as efficacious as the 20 . I understand it's been approved by European docs. I believe this is a European study here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36917758/
