Oncotype below 15, but cancer returned

I found out today that the new cancer in my left brest is called a second primary cancer. I can't tolerate tamoxifen. I can't take A.I.s because of osteoporosis. I can't do radiation because of tricuspid valve regurgitation from EDS, and heart arythmia that can be triggered by neurotoxin pesticides and certain medications, such as Imitrex.

@colely I had pretty serious osteoporosis and still did an aromatase inhibitor. I did not do Reclast or Zometa, that most people do to protect bones, because at the time it was thought those bone drugs could exacerbate my afib. That is not longer a concern.

I lost more bone and fractured 7 years after my cancer diagnosis and two years after stopping letrozole- but only because 1) I made an extremely unwise movement and 2) COVID delayed my treatment.

Two years of Tymlos improved by spinal bone density back to better than it was before cancer.
