Can I take tamoxifen without prescription and can you give a way how to take tamoxifen?
Male | 17
Please don't take tamoxifen without a doctor's order. Tamoxifen is a substance, that a lot of patients with some specific types of breast cancer take, but they have to use it under the care and direction of a medical professional. You should talk this concern over with an oncologist first before trying tamoxifen.

Female | 18
I recommend you to go to the breast specialist urgently to get a full diagnostic examination. Mass in the breast may be a sign of breast cancer, but not all the causes are the same.

That will depend on the cancer's type, how advanced it is, and if it has spread. Ask your medical team they will suggest the best treatment plan based on your specific situation.
