Had stage one invassive lobular carcinoma breast cancer and had a lumpectomy 5 months ago. Had radiation for a month and am looking into breast augmentation. I did one online consultation and they said i could not have the surgery at all because my oncologist has me taking tamoxifen for 5 yrs. I dont want to wait 5 yrs to fix my breasts.
