Good luck with your surgery..I am having my lumpectomy this Wed. Mine is very early DCIS and I am 63. I will be doing radiation but not the AI therapy. Have a friend who had this in her 40’s and wow is she ever feeling the effects of tamoxifen in her late 60’s! Not worth it for me!

After feeling effects in my fourth month I stopped taking anastrozole. It just goes to show that we each have to find our own path and each body reacts differently. I was disappointed that the effects I felt stopped me from taking the pill that was really shrinking my tumors. But I couldn't live like that any longer. It's horrible to have to make a decision like this but you do what you have to do.
