Hi there. My best friend has been told she should consider having oestrogen reducing tablets first as an option for her cancer, rather than jumping straight to a lumpectomy or a mastectomy. She has a small 18mm tumour and has been told this option may reduce the tumour further leading to a less invasive procedure that may preserve the look of the breast . She’d love to know of anyones exoeriences of this type of treatment ? Did it work in your case? Did the tumour reduce in size? And did you believe the following procedure benefitted from this?
thank you so much for any thoughts x
Hi, sorry to hear of your friend's diagnosis. I didn’t have pills, but I did have chemo to shrink the tumour and that did work. I had a lumpectomy that is hardly noticeable now as my original 55cm lump was shrunk to 9mm by the time they operated. I don't know if it's the same type of outcome foe the pills you mention, but certainly I had a smaller surgery than I would have had otherwise. Hope this helps
