Thank you Peggie for all the helpful information. I really appreciate it.
At this point I don’t know about radiation but I am open to the estrogen blockers - hopefully they’ll agree with me.
Take care (and I probably will be asking you more questions!). Theresa

I have the same thing as you, I get surgery in a couple weeks, then 5 weeks of
radiation. I am still debating about the pill, if you look it up there are a lot
of side affects. I know some woman that started the pill after rad. but stoped it they
felt so bad. I want quality of life, I don't want to be sick or hurting or lose my hair in
clumps. I think about it every day. tell me what you decide.
