Any long-term success stories from those NOT taking hormone therapy?

Hi Brightside,
Are you able to share more of your BC Stage/Age of occurrence and if you had radiation/lumpectomy? I've had a successful lumpectomy, clear margins, negative lymph nodes, 5 day partial breast targeted radiation therapy, I'm in perimenopause, and Tamoxifin as all the AI options seem like the side effects are really bad and may cause other major health issues. I don't think the USA offers a lower dose of Tamoxifen....
Thank you for all the above shares.

@bluesun12 yes, 10 mg (daily) Tamoxifen was prescribed to me by my oncologist. Some women take 10 mg every other day, since it doesn't come in 5 mg (in US) & is difficult to cut in half. Trials look promising for approval of 10 mg as standard treatment in near future.
