I think this question is best answered by your doctor. I think the risk is going to be individual. I have read studies that say the risk is very low to zero. I have also read articles that mention specific cases where a doctor would not recommend it for specific cases. If memory serves it was a risk for other related cancers. Only you can decide what is right for you, but the only good decision is an informed decision. Remember every treatment is a cost vs. benefit (to you) decision.
If it helping there is obviously a benefit💕 and if the risk is super low………….awesome.
May I ask if you were premenopausal prior to treatment?asking for a friend. 😂😂.

I was premenopausal when LCIS was discovered and I started on this journey. Tamoxifen for 5 years…still having periods…my uterus grew quite large😳, size of a 16 week pregnancy. It was removed at age 53 and then it hit! ILC at age 63 and anastrozole ever since. I know, long story. It never seems like it’s a quick answer.
