Starting on targeted breast cancer meds.

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.
Stage 2. Invasive ductal breast cancer.

Our case is similar. I had a double mastectomy with 4 cancerous lymph nodes. On Anastrazole for the next ten years. Finished radiation after one month. I take calcium daily and have bone density tests yearly to make sure my bones are not being depleted. Stage 2 invasive duct breast cancer as well. Wish you the best!! Stay strong🌷
