How do I know the surgeon took enough lymph nodes during my surgery?

Sounds like you have a great plan and its working for you.

I did go thru 4 weeks of radiation and I am now on Letrozole 2.5 mg tablet. The surgeon removed 2 lymph nodes and they both had sparce cancerous tissue. My Onco score was 14. My oncologist said with my age (55) and my score chemo would not be much of a help for me.

I guess after a year I am just beginning to think deeper into things and now I have more questions which I will go over with my oncologist. It has been 6 months since my last MRI. I am pretty sure you can get one every six months.

Thank you,
Traci

I sound similar to you. I had two lymph nodes removed, one was pos and one negative. My tumor was about 7mm. I am having full breast radiation treatment now but they want to do 28 treatments and an additional 5 boosts. Seems like a lot to me. I am on Letrozole to. I’m 62. Left breast. My surgery was May 29, 2024. How big was your tumor? Jane
