I really agree, windyshores. I enjoy your sensible advice. You can't "try" surgery and see how you react--it will be a done deal by then. But medication is certainly something a person can try, and then stop. I've been on letrozole for almost 18 months with no side effects. I've come to accept that my medical choices will never be perfect, but can be conscientious and what works for me. And then I remember that really all life decisions are like that--buying a house, quitting a job, having kids--we can never see the future. So since I can't control outcomes, I just try and focus on having a good intention and authenticity.

Hi
I have dcis it was stage 0 when they did the pathology there was a slight break in one of the walls so it went to a stage 2 but a microscopic amount of invasive cancer no cancer in my lymph nodes just did 10 days of radiation double hits so now I will follow up with my oncologist regarding the AI I just would like to know if you have osteopenia or osteoporosis prior to your breast cancer treatment my initial conversation with my oncologist because I have a compression fracture in my spine and I have osteopenia which I have been treated with zoldronic acid for the last 2 years I have my third infusion this year in June. I know that the AIS can cause bone loss and tamoxifen was the medication he discussed me trying I am 65 I'm just so unsure about what medication to go on. Plus I'm hypersensitive to meds and have fibromyalgia.
