This week Lisa asked us, "If you had to make a choice between lowering your chances of being diagnosed with breast cancer by taking a pill for 5+ yrs, but dealing with some pretty brutal side effects, (hot flashes, changes in libido, depression, possible increase of other cancers, etc) would you do it?"Hmm...
Good question. I can see pros and cons to both sides. Most likely I would not take the drug and continue with yearly/bi-yearly check-ups. I am the kind of person that likes to deal with things only when they happen... just ask my asthma doctor, lol :) I know there are numerous things that I can take to prevent an asthma attack, but because of the side effects, I choose not to take them - yuck!
