Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me? I was very happy to find out a few days ago that my lymph nodes were clear after having a mastectomy a couple of weeks ago for high-grade DCIS. However, the surgeon said that I didn’t need any other treatment like Tamoxifen and I was surprised at this. I had assumed I would go on it to prevent recurrence as I know two women (one in their late 40’s, one in their early 60’s - I am 42) who had the same diagnosis as me and are on Tamoxifen for 5 years.
I don’t WANT to go on Tamoxifen, but then I really don’t want this thing to return.
Can anyone advise - especially if they have ‘just’ had high-grade DCIS with mastectomy and no spread to lymph nodes?
Any help would be very gratefully received.
