DCIS do I really need an AI?

I am exactly in the same boat as you but my surgery in one spot was only 1mm. I chose to do radiaion but no o hormone therapy. I have osteopena, arthritis, blood clot and heart issues. I will not compound these with potential horrible side effects. Quality of life at 66 is more important vs minimal risk of recurrence. You can't find good stats because most people cannot tolerate the meds so do not finish treatment, therefore no good stats.

Thank you so much for your reply. I agree quality of life versus the minimal risk of recurrence is what I’m focusing on. Wishing you the best!

Hi
I also am in the same boat dcis I did radiation. Tried tamoxifen it was a nightmare at 5 mg so off it right now. I have osteopenia with a fracture and I have a heart condition. I want an oncotype test but I've been turned down so I'm going to ask again and ask why they won't do it I also learned of a test called signatera I think I am going to ask about that.
