Judith,
Did you have any bone scans etc. after your initial cancer diagnosis - and did you have chemo etc. along with taking the tamoxifen?
One of the RARE side effects of tamoxifen is liver cancer - like being damned if you do and damned if you don't. Glad to hear your last scans showed improvement - hope it continues. thank you for sharing your experience with us.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer 8 years ago May. Never had and kind of bone scans or Mri's,i was on tamoxifen for almost 1 year and had a side affect from it. The lining of my uterus was getting thick and they where afraid of cancer so they stopped it. I go to the Oncologist every six months and so far so good. Often wonder why they never do and scans but they say the doc know's best.My lymp nodes where all negative which was a plus for me.When hearing the word cancer you change your out look on life very quickly.My name is Jolene by the way if you need to talk my email address is jolene.sheehy@prodigy.net Good Luck And a good outlook helps.jeancmici said:Judith,
