@CGuy16 I am similar story to you, diagnosed last November with DCIS and very small tumour. Had mastectomy and then straight on to tamoxifen. On one hand I feel so lucky that it was caught so early and I didn’t have chemo or radiation but now 4 months down the track I have been really struggling. Having a hard time on the tamoxifen as continual hot flushes are just exhausting. Saw my GP last week and we had a really good chat and it was so good just to get things/feelings off my chest (well lopsided chest). As the other ladies have said and my GP bottom line is you have had breast cancer and even though physically healed mentally will take some time. My daughter said to me the other day it’s almost like you need to see someone to debrief with about everything that has happened which is exactly what I’m going to do. Good luck xxxJulie
