PTSD after mastectomy

I'm sorry to hear that you are facing this. But I wanted to tell you that I was diagnosed at 70 in 2022 with IDC in one breast and ILC in the other. I had a bilateral mastectomy at Mayo Rochester. I also have osteoporosis and the oncologist there ordered Zometa infusions for me 2x a year for 3 years. Zometa is an infusion for osteoporosis but it also has a side benefit to help us avoid cancer recurrence. Turns out women who have had breast cancer and were on Zometa for osteoporosis have a higher survival rate. So I am pleased that there is something to help on both fronts. Sending healing and wellness wishes to you❤️

Forgot to mention that I am on Tamoxifen even tho I am way past menopause due to the bone loss. Tamoxifen has some bone building properties if you are past menopause.
