" ... Tamoxifen's benefits were seen only in women who got no radiotherapy, but radiation benefited women regardless of tamoxifen use and without an additional benefit from combination."

This is just 1 recent study, but worth reading, as I remember when presented with all of my options last year, the one I felt the least sure about was whether or not to go on tamoxifen following my lumpectomy and radiation.
