DCIS Grade 2. Anyone told to skip hormone blockers?
I was diagnosed with a wide span of DCIS, Grade 2. I had a lumpectomy and reconstruction on my right breast and a reduction on my left, clear margins, no invasive detected. My oncologist recommends I do radiation but no hormone therapy. He feels it is not needed and will not change my long-term outcome. I am wondering if anyone else has had this recommendation or has any experience with this.

hello imcloud
As my experience is already old ( dx’d in 2013), I wasn’t going to bother to respond But as no one else has, I wasn’t even offered the option as my drs felt the risk of the blockers far outweighed their benefit for DCIS

Thank you for your response. I am confused because my surgeon told me I would be needing five years of hormone blockers, then my oncologist recommended I not take any. I am curious what others have been told/done. I appreciate your reply.

Your oncologist is the specialist to address medications. Not the breast surgeon.
