Hey@CGuy16. 5 years ago I had surgery for DCIS. Same as you I didn't need radiation. I was given Tamoxifen and off I went. As some side effects started I turned to the net for answers. There were none. DCIS is called pre-stage here. I had all the same symptoms as any other person on Tamoxifen but like you I felt I had no right to the emotions I had. No matter what stage or number or name your cancer has you have the right to be sad, angry, upset. It is a big deal. Your journey is just that....YOURS. So be kind and patient with yourself. Allow your mind to take its time to wrap around what has happened.
