I was diagnosed with ADH in 2018 and had a lumpectomy. I was given the option to take Arimidex which I did decide to take but only took it for 3 months as I had every single side affect you can possibly have from it. I am 49 years old now have been doing mammograms/MRI's alternating every 6 months since and have not had anything else found. I have been an oncology nurse for 15+ years and the other nurses I work with can not believe I decided not to take the medication. They said "you see what these woman go through who have breast cancer". I said "yes but, I also have to be able to live my life". You have to weigh all your options and then make the best decision for you. Hugs

Thank you. I really think it’s one of the hardest things because it’s such a long commitment and there are a lot of possible side effects. Because I already had low grade invasive ductal carcinoma that was hormone driven, I’m sure it will be recommended that I try them.
