Welcome @mandys. You are not alone. I moved your message about your diagnosis of DCIS to this existing discussion:
- Diagnosed with DCIS: How do I decide on treatment? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/dcis/
I did this so you can read the previous posts and connect with other DCIS-ers like @tctredwell1 @sakina @kathyomaha55 @jennie23b @finallyretired @nlb122 @mylane @anniemae2 @polianad22 and @auntieoakley.
Have you been scheduled for surgery already? I bet you have loads of questions. What would you like to ask?

Yes I have had surgery about 6 weeks ago. I'm so confused about what to do as I have read so many negative things about taking a pill. I feel like I should but then the next day I feel like I don't want to. I had an appointment with my oncologist and she explained what the pill would do and that was about it. When she walked out of the room she said "let me know if you want to take the pill". No other information was given to me, no resources. I've been left I feel trying to figure out what is best for me by myself. So I turned to this website and maybe I was in the wrong group because almost everyone is saying how horrible the side effects are. I'm sitting on the fence everyday. Not sure how long I have to make my decision about the treatment.
