Wilhelm is correct about Tamoxifen. It is a drug that keeps the estrogen levels low and is used in women who have estrogen positive breast cancer. It is not a chemotherapy drug.

Since my own breast cancer was estrogen receptor positive, I did a bunch of research and found that the majority of breast cancers are caused by estrogen dominance--an overabundance of the bad estrogen (estrogen is actually 3 metabolites). There are many natural ways to lower your bad estrogen--diet, potassium iodide, DIM, I3C, exercise, natural progesterone cream, etc.--many of which I am implementing. You do not need to resort to a prescription drug to do something that you can accomplish naturally. The main reason I decided not to take Tamoxifen was because studies have shown that while it lowers the risk of breast cancer, it increases the risk of cervical cancer (by about 20%, I believe). My oncologist told me that this was an "acceptable" risk. I disagreed. Intuitively, you have to know that anything that can increase your risk of any type of cancer can not be in any way good for you.
