Hi David,
I saw my oncologist today and asked more questions about probability re: Tamoxifen.

In summary, If there were 10 people with my exact scenario taking Tamoxifen:

8 would have no recurrence having nothing to do with taking Tamoxifen

1 would have recurrence despite taking Tamoxifen

1 would not have recurrence because she took Tamoxifen

This backs up my feelings about not taking it. He still thinks I should try.

Providence has a brand new cancer center that they are very proud of. They have phone chargers in the chairs in the waiting room and new everything. They really want to talk about how beautiful it is. I wanted to shake them and let them know that I don't give a shit, and I hate being there. So, no Tamoxifen for me.

See you soon,

Andrea
