From your other posts, I see your taking Letrozole to shrink your tumor before surgery.

I happen to run across this article, which is the question you were asking back in Aug. It does not give a definite answer because every treatment plan is based on the individual, It does list things to consider, most have already been suggested by other members.

What surgery did you decide on? Sorry if you already mention it and I missed it.

Hi Laurie,
I have not decided yet. I go in for 3 month check up to see if tumor has shrunk. I’m hoping it has but if not then I need to decide if I can take another 3 months of waiting.
I know the waiting was hard for you as well. Did you wait the whole 6 months?
