Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 My answer about Tamoxifen would depend on whether your prior tumors were malignant (cancerous) or not and what your age and cardiac status are. The biggest danger about the drug is that it can cause blood clots and that's especially significant if you're over the tender age of 50. I had surgery and radiation for breast cancer in 2000 and refused with Dr.'s approval to take the drug because I had a history of 3 TIAs in 1998 and 1999. I had no risk factors for the strokes.
