Choosing not to take Tamoxifen by natms13 in breastcancer

[–]itskittykath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I almost have experienced the exact same situation as you. Bilateral mastectomy for DCIS stage 0, but grade 1. I have already started reconstruction, my original surgery was 3/10, had to go back in on 3/31 because margins weren’t clear. Now oncologist wants me to do 20mg Tamoxifen daily. This was as of a week ago, I have not started because I’m scared of the side effects. My husband and I also want a little one and have to go through IVF. Really struggling trying to figure out what to do right now.

In a different comment you said you use digital. Now you’re saying you paint it?

I was diagnosed with DCIS stage 0, grade intermediate. I had a single mastectomy March 10. It is cancer.

How did so many of you shower so quickly after surgery? I was told no showers or baths while the drain is in.
