@marygrannie While I stand corrected because of the headline which was not written by Dr Emanuel, he did write the article that was published in The Atlantic magazine in October 2014. Dr Emanuel has since had to multiple times defend himself because of the misinterpretation of the false headline. Read the entire article and decide for yourself why I agree with him.
To find the article you usually need the author and headline —misconstrued or not— to find the original.
Don’t jump to conclusions too soon. Hugs to you on your journey. I am also going to be treated on my own terms at age 80.
Currently I’m fighting to be given 5mg Tamoxifen but will settle for 10mg. Definitely not taking 20!!

@mimi09 My Doc wouldn't reply when I asked for a 10mg-sized pill of Tamoxifen (rude), so that I could cut it. So I just did my own cutting of the 20 mg with a really good pill-splitter, keeping only the well-split ones. It felt great to get to make that decision for myself, at age 76.
