Were you taken off tamoxifen before any surgeries?

No, her doctor didn't want her to take it due to risk of possible GI bleed. I thought she should be on a baby aspirin, but the doctor said no.

Since the doc left it up to her on the tamoxifen but not the baby aspirin. That would be a personal cost vs. benefit decision for her to make. That being said, I don’t believe the stopping for a few weeks would considerably change the risk to her cancer, but I am not her doctor. My doctor would not have said it was just up to me if he felt that it would really make a difference in my cancer.
