Letrozole and Tamoxifen
If I can't get on the trial I want to join, I may be offered these drugs. Is it right that they help to keep the situation in the same place rather than reduce the the tumours? Has anyone seen a significant reduction in disease using hormone treatment for PPC or Ovarian, particularly low grade. it'll

Cost of having BRCA test and PET scan done privately?
I was told I am not eligible for BRCA test but then may be offered
tamoxifen
which I think is for hormone receptive oc? Also have raised ca markers but ct scan not showing anything.

Hi I have just joined as my relative has a breast lump and has not scheduled surgery yet as is hoping that tamoxifen will reduce it .
One consultant has proposed more radical surgery than the other how long is a safe time to wait before deciding on type of surgery?

1st injections and being around someone who is on medication for cancer
My lo has her first injections this week and I have read that you may be asked before the injections if you are in contact with someone that is taking medication for cancer, my mother in law is on
tamoxifen
for breast cancer, has anyone else been in this situation and also why they ask this?

What are the groups views on the latest research regarding preventative treatments with tamoxifen and raloxifene?
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence says
tamoxifen
or raloxifene taken daily by high risk women for five years can cut breast cancer risk by 40%. May provide a treatment option besides mastectomy for women found to be genetically high risk.

Am I alone in being very concerned about the NICE decision to offer 'preventative' drugs to those at risk of breast cancer?
This concerns me for so many reasons: Firstly; drugs like
tamoxifen
bring on early menopause and ageing, and are no fun to take for a long time. It is also implicated in some endometrial cancers.

There are not many options left after doing 5 lines of treatment but we discussed the possible use of
Tamoxifen
to slow things down on the next check up or perhaps trying single agent Caelyx if chemo is deemed necessary.
