Question, for anyone who has had a DMX & Estrogen+, did you still need hormone therapy after the breasts were removed?

This is such an important question that many people face after a double mastectomy. Hormone therapy decisions depend on several factors beyond breast tissue removal, including your specific cancer type, staging, and individual risk factors that only your oncology team can fully evaluate. Connecting with others who've navigated similar decisions can provide valuable perspective and support during this process.

I’m currently on tamoxifen to suppress the hormones for the foreseeable future.
