I was diagnosed and had right breast lumpectomy with sentinel node biopsy in Jan 2024. Full breast radiation for four weeks with a bonus double dose last week. The radiation had severe impacts on both my skin and lungs. (Ended up with pneumonia, collapsed lung and intubated for 8 days....due to radiation damage to my right lung.)

Then letrozole for approx 6-7 months will debilitating joint pain, neuropathy in my hands and trigger finger in two fingers. I could barely function and chose to quit any AI. It has been four months and finally some relief in joint pain but still have fairly severe neuropathy in my right hand. Wakes me up at night....sadly.

Btw...going for a bone scan this week. Feeling hopeful.

I am taking a regime of vitamins and turkey tail mushrooms. Hoping for the best.
