I am diagnosed with DCIS and did a lumpectomy and the pathology report was ER/PR +. I did 5 radiation sessions for 5 mins and it was not hard. I am worried about the antihormone pill
( Armidex) that I have to take because it has a lot of side effects. I am thinking of other holistic ways to reduce estrogen.
I researched a lot and read papers at NCBI and DCIS is overtreated and I have to decide within 1 month if I am taking the pills or not. It is a hard decision.
