After 2 lumpectomies earlier in his year, and finally a bilateral mastectomy 3 weeks ago, I wish I knew about this clinical study. The final pathology report showed no invasive cancer. I wasn’t given many options. There needs to more research into DCIS and this should not be treated the same as a tumor.
Thank you for explaining and I would love to have either of you on my podcast. However, why wasn't grade 3 patients in the COMET study considering DCIS is considered to be a precancer? I understand it is a higher risk for grade 3 but if DCIS is very low risk for invasion why weren't they involved?
Also, what if a patient has an actual tumor and symptoms with the DCIS such as inverted nipples, pulsating vein, enlarged breast, lumps, and discharge? Would this case be more prone to invasive cancer or is this common for grade 3 DCIS? This is hard to explain but hopefully you understand what I am trying to convey.
All I want from life is an alternative to tamoxifen, AIs, and raloxifene. They are just too tough to take. I have ADH and I tried baby TAM and I have to say I've never felt worse. I felt bad enough stopping my HRT, and baby TAM was shockingly intolerable. No hot flashes courtesy of Veoza, but brain fog, insomnia, libido loss. I could barely use an ATM! If you want people to take chemoprevention, stop flogging tamoxifen, and find something better.
