Hi,
Thanks for your reply. It is nice to talk to someone who has exactly the same as I had. Hope the drain tubes etc are all gone by now!!! Wow what a rough time for your family. I am assuming you are quite young and did they discover it because you were having regular check up because of the family history or did it just happen randomly. Did they recommend you have the other breast off at the time? Family history isnt an issue for me and they dont have alot of evidence on the benefits of tamoxifen and DCIS. The % didnt improve that much but hey ideally none of want to head down this path again if we can help it. Not sure what other options there my be but i would love to feel happy and feel like i am enjoying life again. At the moment it sometimes feels like I am just going through the motions. I have 3 young children and i want them to have their Mum back 110%.
Emotions are such powerful things but it is challenging when they feel like they dont belong to you because generally this is not your nature. Lets hope tamoxifen is smooth sailing for you. Stay in touch. Kylie
