Hi.
Im new here. I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, I had wide excision surgery initially but my borders still showed more DCIS, so had mastectomy which showed Grade 1 and lots more DCIS.
My oncologist who was a locum, said I needed to be on letrazole meaning I needed to be put into menopause with Zolidax monthly and have 6 monthly Zometa for bone strengthening.
I had review with breast care team this week and she was shocked into how aggressive my treatment is. She took my case to the MDT meeting and all the oncologists agreed that I should not of been put into menopause and should just be on Tamoxifen.
Im not sure how i feel about it all, will I go back out of menopause now? I’ve been on it since April 2021. Has this happened to anyone else? Is Tamoxifen as good as Letrazole?
Thank you for reading. Xx
