    For Doris

    I saw my onco last week, and she said EXACTLY what you wrote about Tamoxifen.  Linda

    Tamox is one of the hormone

    Tamox is one of the hormone therapy drugs used to treat women whose breast cancers are ER & PR+.  It was never considered chemo.  I think it originally was used by male athletes, wasn't it?  It was "sort of" considered a steroid or something like that a longgggggggggggg time ago??
