    I love Dr. Knopf's refreshing openness and honesty. I like my Onc Doc, but he hates my questions, even when I try to ask in non-threatening way. Most Onc Docs are overwhelmed as it is, and can't keep up with "breaking news." Thanks!

    Dear Dr. Knopf

    Have you got any update on this useful information about Tamoxifen?  I've just taking it and have heard that there is a relationship between side effects experienced and the effectiveness of the drug.  The doctor who told me this was unclear though whether the presence or absence of side effects signifed increased effectiveness!  He said it did have to do with the way the drug metabolises.

    Any information you have would be very welcome.

    Many thanks

    Jo
