Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have fibrocystic disease of breast.
If you have any lump in your breast then you should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. Itcan be cancer. Fibro cystic disease can turn out in cancer. So ruleout the chance of malignancy first. Then if needed you can take tamoxifen accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
