I was diagnosed with DCIS in January 2023 and had a lumpectomy with good margins, progesterone and estrogen +. I am 68 years old and decided
not to do any radiation. I take tamoxifen 20 mg/ day. My only side effect has been hot flashes, which are not too bad. There are many worse diagnoses-stay hopeful and positive!

Hi
I have heard horror story's about tamoxifen. I am highly sensitive to meds and already take alot of scripts. Does this med not stop all Estrogen? My menopause was horrid on hrt for 10yrs up until dcis diagnosed
Hi
So you had the option of no radiation? I was told radiation and then tamoxifen. I would rather not do radiation.

Unfortunately receptors at the biopsy did not have progesterone and estrogen, so I am not eligible for the pill so I will have to have radiation
