Can this be right?

Hi, I'm new to this site, so first I want to introduce myself.

I'm a 44 year young Norwegian woman diagnosed with HER2+/E-/P- breast cancer. I have a «hubby» and 2 daughters, aged 15 and 20.

I was diagnosed 9/11/2015, had a mastectomy and reconstruction on my right breast, and reduction on my left, all in one go, 9/22/2015. Then I started chemo on 11/23/2016, with a total of 4 doses of EC90 (epirubicin and cyclophosphamide), one every 3 weeks. After that I started with weekly doses of Taxol 1/25/2016. I'm getting 12 doses (8 down, 4 to go). At the same time as the Taxol, I'm getting Herceptin every 3 weeks, 17 doses.

Now I am a bit confused, because my oncologist wants to put me on Tamoxifen when I'm done with the Taxol. If I'm not mistaken, that only works for hormone positive cancers, and mine are negative. I used to trust my oncologist, but the more I read on this site, the more I question the treatment regimen he put me on. I had 3 small tumors. The biggest was 2 cm. Stage 1a, grade 3. No cancer in any of my lymph nodes, Ki67>30%.

I could really use your advice and feedback on this. Should I take the Tamoxifen? I'm also worried because my mother almost died from blood cloths and my aunt actually died from cancer in her uterus (don't know what kind of cancer).

I just want to apologize for my grammar and spelling. English is not my first language.
