Hi! I am 6 mos along after discovery of ILC in left breast. I have had to struggle at each treatment option, deciding whether or not to do it. Ultimately I came to terms with each and feel comfortable that the oncology group does know what’s best! Ha! Here’s what I learned: that cancer is very slippery and hard to find in its early stages. The problems lie more in the aftercare, after biopsies and surgeries on obvious tumors, making sure that we don’t have recurrences as those little bad cells grow bigger in our bodies. So after my left breast mastectomy, I have been taking Letrozole to stop estrogen from feeding cancer cells. I have had 29 radiation sessions. I have started taking a chemo pill Ibrance, and I will be receiving infusions of Zometa every few months to offset the bad effects on bones of the other medicines. These meds will be part of my daily life for years, making sure the cancer cells are really dead, gone, undetectable at least. All in all, I feel well except for sore joints. It turns out to be a journey we undertake, not a one-time intervention. I hope you find this a bit helpful and I wish you health and happiness as you make your journey. Focus on living your days.
