I also have DCIS stage 0 but both estrogen and progesterone positive Grade2. Very small 7mm. Having lumpectomy soon. After will do 5 days of radiation and either Tamoxifrn or Aromatase inhibitor for 5 years. I’m opting for only radiation, hoping it’s right decision. Opinions anyone ?

I am facing same…I’ve only heard horrible things about Aromatase and know from very good friend about the bad effects of tamoxifen. I won’t do it. Wondering who else is just having lumpectomy or mastectomy. My neighbor did mastectomy as she is a little person and can’t tolerate radiation or drugs because of her already brittle bones.
