DCIS

I just finished radiation treatment for DCIS. They want me to take Tamoxifen. I am leaning not to.

  • Hi Christeo,   I had DCIS, node testing clear (thank goodness) in 2011.  As I choose mastecomy I was told I did not need radiotherapy.  No further treatment was offered as it was still contained within the duct.  What concern me a little is  no testing was done to find if the  cancer was homone dependant or what type - just said high grade and 2 cm.

    Were you given any information other than DCIS at histology results?  Consultants seem to treat DCIS differently to others. 

    You've been though a lot, and the road must seem long (I actually felt a bit under-treated) just wondering what is making you lean in the direction of not taking Tamoxifen?  What information have your been given to base your decision on?

    Take care, gardenlady
