I believe you addressed my question during the chat but you didn't mention raloxifene which was the basis of my question.

@yasmine

What adjuvant hormonal therapy is recommended for low grade DCIS,ER/PR positive,less than 4 cm with clean margins. Tamoxifen or an Aromitase Inhibitor? I am post-menopausal and have completed lumpectomy and radiation.

@cassy

I am a very healthy 74year old female and have been on Letrozole for nearly 3 yrs. with ZERO side effects.
I realize resistance to treatment with Letrozole(all AI) eventually occurs in a large number of patients. How do you
know if it's working ?? I have been unable to find a satisfactory answer other than recurrence.

Hi @cassy. I sent your question to Dr. McLaughlin. She said it was for an oncologist to answer, and since she's a surgeon, she can't answer it. I'm sorry!

@BarbaraAnn16540

I am 64 year old female. I had bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction in 2003. I have saline implants. Recent information about encapsulation and implants degrading has become a concern. What can be done to check for problems? How concerning should this be?

Hey @BarbaraAnn16540, thanks for watching. I asked Dr. Maxwell and he said he is not concerned with implants and your annual mammogram will show if there are any issues.
