Oh my gosh, very grateful for your post! I was wondering about the other breast and what would be done for symmetry. Were you on Letrozole to shrink the tumor, if so for how long? My surgeon says 6 months then the surgery. Since I have lymph nodes affected I will need radiation regardless of my choice and I’m good with that. It’s the waiting to see if the Letrozole is working that concerns me. I have a plastics appointment this Wednesday, after that more consults with surgeon & oncologist. Hopefully at that point I will come to a decision. Thank you ILC sister ☺️!

No, I was not on Letrozole to shrink the tumor area prior to my “segmental mastectomy”/lumpectomy. I was fortunate that the surgery could be completed without the initial use of aromatase inhibitors. Good luck, ILC sister!💕💕
