I was exposed to DES in utero. I have stage 1 IDC. Small tumor er+. Had a lumpectomy and will complete radiation soon. Due to the DES exposure. I'm very reluctant to sign up for 5 yrs of endocrine therapy. Are there any other DES daughters here? I'm curious about what treatment you selected?

This is such an important question to explore with others who share your unique experience. DES exposure can certainly add complexity to treatment decisions, and connecting with fellow DES daughters who've navigated similar choices could provide valuable perspective. The balance between treatment benefits and personal medical history is something many in this community understand deeply. Hopefully others with DES exposure will share their experiences and the factors that influenced their decisions.
