Hi bcwarrior that is just the reason I am not taking tamoxifen or any blocker
after radiation I have to many friends that took it for 5 years and it came back, I will get

Hello!
I just found this forum and I know that your comment was made quite some time ago, but I am hoping my reply finds you well. I was wondering if you had DCIS. I also had radiation only but did choose to go on the tamoxifen. I’ll be taking my last dose December 31st of this year. I was just wondering if you had any effects when you stopped the drug. I know that we are all different, however I am reading that many of us that came off of it are having effects that pretty much feel like we did when we were on it. I was wondering if this was the case for you.
Thank you!

Hi.. did you just have a lumpectomy or mastectomy.
I will be getting my biopsy report by Wednesday. I am 72 and I don't want to spend the rest of my life miserable.
My inclination is to have a double mastectomy.
I am just devastated by this. I feel fine and have no family history of breast cancer.
Thanks for listening...
