I had breast cancer 10 years ago, had surgery and radiation, has not come back--------now I have it in
the right breast stage 2, had surgery, and going to start proton radiation, Has anyone had proton if so
what are the side effects? also after reading a lot of everyone's comments I don't see where anyone is on
Tamoxifen. I am to take it after the radiation. I have decided not to take it after reading about it. I am 81.
going to do nothing, just like what I did 10 years ago.

I was on Tamoxifen for 8 years following surgery, chemo and radiation. 6 months after stopping tamoxifen my cancer returned as stage 4 Mets to bone, lymph and liver. I did not have any negative side effects from the Tamoxifen and believe it kept my cancer from progressing sooner.
