Posted by Diane Dauphin on 7/17/2002 from 172.149.215.254:

I was recently diagnosed with lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS). The doctors are recommending that I take tamoxifen and have genetic testing. I would like to talk to people who are taking the drug preventively.

What convinced you to take the drug? Are you experiencing any side effects?

I would also like to talk with people who decided not to take tamoxifen. What were your reasons?

I am also interested in those who went for genetic testing. Was it helpful? What measures did you take after the testing? If you decided against genetic testing, why?

I would also like to hear of support groups in the New York City area for those at high risk for breast cancer.

Finally, I would like to know how women with LCIS are monitored yearly.

Thanks for any information.
