It's been awhile

I just had my 3rd clean MRI and approaching 2 yrs post LCIS diagnosis. Currently having yearly mammograms and yearly MRI's so that every 6 months I am "imaged". About to graduate from CBE every 3 months to CBE every 6 months. Wanted to stop in and share. Also, Hi to leaf, awb and all those who helped me cope--especially in the beginning.

Misty-----wonderful news---so happy to hear good news !!!!!!  (I continue on the same regimen of high risk surveillance of alternating mammos and MRIs every 6 months with CBEs on the opposite 6 months; finished 5 years of tamoxifen, and now have been taking evista for over a year; had another clear MRI in March).   Here's to continued good results for all of us facing LCIS !!!!!

Hi Misty this is my first time here and I appreciate the support and info you all seem to offer.  I was diagnosed with LCIS a year ago feb and took Tamoxifen for 6 months but in Jan decided to stop taking it after reading more about the drug and becoming more informed on it's risks. I also was not happy with it' side effects.  But I am very estrogen dominant and have not had good luck balancing my hormones (currently using natural Progesterone cream prescribed by a doctor.  I am also taking supplements, including I3C and learning all I can about diet and nutrition and drink my green tea every day.....my question:  I have to find an alternative to the Tamoxifen due to my estrogen dominance and was told by an MD about Dr. Chi out of California.  He offers Myomin as an alternative to Tamoxifen and I want to know of someone else who has taken this. I am either going to go back on Tamoxifen or try this natural estrogen inhibitor but would love to talk to some one who has used it before......thanks!!
