As an AYA breast cancer survivor I was glad to see Tamoxifen discussed (April is AYA Cancer awareness month too!). Here to add that many of us with er/pr+ breast cancer that are premenopausal are now being prescribed Lupron (shuts down ovaries) and Letrozole (decreases other estrogen made by the body) instead of Tamoxifen. Of course this is all dependent on your type of cancer and risk so this is not to say that Tamoxifen is bad, it’s not, but there are multiple treatment types. It’s a huge adjustment to be put into medical menopause and I’m glad to see more resources available to navigate it.
