How fun it must have been to interview your lovely dad! Thank you so much for this informative and interesting interview. I had heard him speak previously and think he’s brilliant.
I had a 2cm deep tumour picked up on mammogram, had a lumpectomy, chemo, radiotherapy. I couldn't feel a lump, it was too deep. The diagnosis was an invasive, very aggressive type of breast cancer, but I'm here 10 years later. It hadn't been there 3 years before. It was picked up before it had spread to the lymph nodes. I'm not so sure I would be here if I had followed this professor's advice and not gone for screening.
I am disappointed that this discussion does not include Dr Braums views on endocrine treatment which is the standard for women who have er+ breast cancer.These drugs are the opposite of HRT and deprive women’s bodies of oestrogen to improve less chance of breast cancer recurrence but increase risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, stroke, vaginal atrophy, hair loss, dementia ( these are just a few of the known side effects ) Does Dr Braum consider the benefits out weigh the risks?
I’m either confused or totally don’t understand. HRT is fine for women after cancer but the same women are also treated with tamoxifen or letrozle to to reduce estrogen!
Very interesting and informative talk. As a previvor who had to fight really hard for risk reducing surgery against a strong anti-mastectomy culture however, I feel that using terms like "mutilating" and "terrible" to describe what for some women is a very empowering and positive choice, doesn't reflect the experience of most of those making it. Personally it has brought me a great deal of psychological relief and improved physical comfort.

I would love to ask your father questions about tamoxifen.
