I initially had cancer in 2014 -
Had a lumpectomy & 30 rounds of radiation and took Letrozole for 5 years (initially wanted my breast removed back then but doctor said it wasn’t necessary). Then in April 2023 (9 years later) I was diagnosed with ANGIOSARCOMA of the blood vessels ( which was a delayed radiation cancer). I was flabbergasted. I had a Mastectomy to remove the cancer in November 2023. Now I am 73 years old - can’t take Chemo because it’s too intense for people over 60 and we know radiation is not an option. So now I’m just being monitored which I have to take scans every 3-4 months. If I had followed my gut 9 years ago I would have insisted on having the Mastectomy done and I wouldn’t have had to take radiation back then.
