Bill: I had a 5 cm. intraductual cancer and had a mastectomy. Right now
the drug tamoxifen is a highly debatable drug. Is your wife pre or post
menopausal? If she is pre, there is a chance that tamoxifen could create
unterine cancer. I would assume she had no lympth node involvement and this
is also why no further treatment was given. Tamoxifen works well for some
women, for other's like me I had a very serious reaction that left me
disabled. I hope this has helped you. Your friend, lillian
