Did anyone listen to Jeremy Vine today ? He had discussion with Professor Richard Gary who has been part of a Study regarding women with oestrogen sensitive breast disease who had stopped
Tamoxifen after the initial 5 year advice. Some in the study had been diagnosed for a 2nd time within 15 years of stopping the anti-oestrogen drug (I think I heard it correctly). It is now thought that ladies should have either
Tamoxifen or 1 of the other options for at least 10 years post surgery.
During the end of the interview which I plan to listen to again, he did mention that in general there is so little oestrogen in HRT that it shouldn't be discounted as a treatment for women with unbearable meno symptoms, even post surgery.
Do listen. As someone who suffered severe side-effects from
Tamoxifen that it almost killed me, I do wish I'd been part of the Study

and there was no mention of womb cancer from this particular drug. Which a friend died of

I found it interesting and for once, Jeremy actually listened and rarely butted in!
