@snowdown I am unclear about some things in your post. You said all of your estrogen tissue was taken out? What does that mean? Mastectomy does not remove estrogen tissue. Do you mean there is now less breast tissue containing cancer that is fed by estrogen?

I had mastectomies but still did estrogen blocking meds for 5 years. Is there another reason you are not doing meds?

Well I was told that since all the breast tissue was removed I didn’t require estrogen blocking to prevent further breast cancer. So I guess in relation to breast cancer I would not require estrogen blocking therapy.
