I have the same 1A clear margins and onctype was right on the cusp. I'm 48 perimenopausal, and decided not to move forward with chemo but I did complete 3 weeks of radiation treatment. They now want me to start Lupron and Anastrozole, but may do just tamoxifen. Going to see a new oncologist. I did know I would have to do hormone therapy but I did not know it was as aggressive as these meds are. I'm scared and can't wait to see what other doctor has to say.

My sister has been on post-lumpectomy hormone suppressors for 8.5 years without a problem. I realize that may make her an outlier. She had DCIS but an oncotype score low enough to avoid chemo. She did have radiation. I'm concerned about side effects to come myself.
