Welcome Creeder. I'm glad you got a second opinion at Mayo Clinic. What led you to seek a second opinion?

@mugs24cancer, researcher as early as 2018 published evidence that low-dose tamoxifen can be effective for intraepithelial neoplasia - early, non-invasive or pre-invasive cancers such as atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH), ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), and lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS).

Thank you! Are there any studies that have been done as well on a lower dose of letrozole?

I am so happy that I followed my “gut instinct” to get a 2nd opinion at the Mayo Breast Clinic. I could still feel a pronounced area that my mammogram in October had shown. The facility did an ultrasound and the radiologist felt it was just dense tissue. The following February, a friend suggested to pursue it further and thank goodness I did. I met with a team of doctors that have a great plan in place at Mayo. They have given me confidence.
