Diagnosed with stage 0 DCIS

I was told I will be prescribed Tamoxifen after my lumpectomy next month, and I don't want it to take it. Did a lot of research and found that DIM (Dinduulmethane), has similar effect, but without the horrible side effects. It can be bought at any Vitamin Shoppe.
It's a natural substitute, but was wondering if anyone was prescribed this by a natropathic doctor?
Just wondering.
Thank you and well health wishes to all of you!

I am taking DIM as prescribed by my onc. naturopath. I also do curcumin, melatonin & ground flax seed. Flax seed has amazing properties. Evening primrose oil acts as a natural aromitase inhibitor per my naturopath, 1000 mg 2 times per day was her recommendation for me.

Wow!! Thanks for the post I just stopped the anastrazole due to joint pain and exacerbation of an old SI injury while taking and I was planning on going to naturopath I did not realize how the inflammation of my joints was so debilitating
