Starting on targeted breast cancer meds.

Went through same thing a year ago. My tumor was a little larger and grade 2 but I went with lumpectomy and sentinel nodes. They did give me Tylenol with codeine but I only used it the first day or 2. Didn’t really need it. Only pain was when wraps came off to shower (pressure bra and ace bandage) and that was alleviated with rebandaging. By 2 weeks when they started removing wraps I was fine and needed no pain meds even without the wraps.

I had lump and 4 sentinel node removals in the same surgery. Only 2 had cancer. My surgeon was able to get clear margins I did 6 weeks of radiation and taking anastrozole for the next 5 years-or 7.
My surgery was May of 2022 and still going strong. Since Al’s take a toll on my bones I am taking fosamax 70mg once a week.
