What kind of breast cancer did you who is taking anastrozole? and how old were you.
I have been on anastrozole since Aug of 22 and still cancer free. I have a MRI coming up in a fews weeks and I anm worries about that.
I did have 6 weeks of radiation after surgery because I have 2 node positive had clear margins after my surgery

Early 70’s IDC ER/PR+ HER2-

I did not have radiation. While there are no guarantees Anastrozole does cut back recurrence by 50%. And it certainly kept this rogue cell at a VERY slow growing rate (only 3% of cells in this 4mm tumor were dividing) KI-67 was 3!

MRI is the way to go

@chickenmom10 Did you have chemotherapy? I saw that you have Oncotype 20 , the same I have and doctors are still doubting if I have benefit from it or not . They are more likely to go only with hormonal therapy.
