My wife had breast cancer and she went into remission this February 2017. She was diagnosed around mid November 2014. My wife just turned 39 and had ER PR positive tumor which was destroyed using radiotherapy in New York. As such she has been on Tamoxifen since she was diagnosed but then stopped it as she went into remission. We want to have children and were wondering which will be the best kind of doctor and some recommendations too since this is not a very usual case. Thank you in advance,

Planning a family in a breast cancer patient is not advisable for 2 years (counted from last day of treatment). As chances of relapse are higher in initial 2 years. So she can plan her pregnancy according to your gynaec. But she has to stop tamoxifen as it has got teratogenic effect on baby if she conceive.
