Unsure is this is controversial, apologies if it is.
I’m 48 and pre menopausal. Have had lumpectomy and sentinel lymph removal, followed by further surgery of cavity shave for DCIS. I used the predict tool on NHS website and played around with treatment options etc.
My results came up as surgery only 94%, 5, 10 & 15 years adding radiotherapy raised this 0.3%, adding hormone blockers was something like additional 0.15%
My question is, has anyone had surgery only and opted for no radiotherapy and hormone blockers? If so, how long ago, any resistance from medical team, etc? I haven’t decided on nothing else but it’s something I want to discuss with my consultant but would appreciate any experiences from actual humans rather than rely on a modelling tool. Thanks in advance
