I had similar experience with second lumpectomy. Had low grade infection--took antibiotic and that cleared. No radiation. Anastrazole for 3 years---lost calcium in bones, other side effects. Discontinued anastrazole at oncologist's urging. No further meds. Now 4 years post first lumpectomy. As these posts often say, we each have individual responses. No 2 of us are alike!
So glad you are feeling better. Prayers for you and family.

Thank you for the input. I asked for the antibiotics when I had the fever but surgeon said I didn’t need it. I will meet my oncologist in Feb. I wonder if I still need the radiation ( as first planned) . I don’t really like to do it but if needed I guess I have to. Just want the hormone therapy.
