Here I go again
I was originally diagnosed back in 9/2023 on my left side, 13 MM stage 1, grade 1 DCIS/IDC. Had lumpectomy with 20 sessions of radiation. Tried Lupron, which gave me hell for almost a year. Cant deal with Tamoxifen. Finally did a lot of holistic stuff and trying to live life again.
Thought I was doing good and getting some semblance of normalcy back. BAM, found a 4 MM foci on the 8/2024 MRI. Label as Birad 3, redo in 6 months. Just had MRI, it was now a 8 MM, label as Birad 4. Just had ultrasound guided biopsy on Tuesday. Biopsy results, just now says, DCIS with intermediate grade.
Both the 2023 and current diagnosis were 91-100% ER+/PR+. Waiting to hear back from the surgical team. Originally I had an appointment to see oncologist upcoming Monday as a follow up, guess we have something else to talk about now. Life sucks. I just want my life back, a real life, not this shitty mess call Cancer.
Debating if I should have DMX next and/or removal of ovaries at this juncture.

Thank you @moderators . Just read thru. I am wondering if others that had DMX and decided to go flat, could you let me know if you have had any side effects. Like random pain, lymphedema, etc. Also, what type of monitoring are there if there are no more mammograms, MRIs? Ultrasound? If there are any suspicious lumps, what next?

This is another great thread of members discussing their decision, side effects, etc after going flat:
