Has anyone not gone thru radiation and hormone blockers?

Posted by amjokisch @amjokisch, May 2 6:45pm

I was diagnosed with stage 2 e pos her2 neg. localized in the milk duct. 1 node taken that came back negative. I had surgery a week ago and am considering not doing radiation or hormone blockers.

Hi treb68. I have osteoporosis and 13% probability of a severe fracture within 10 years. I am 82 years old and take Verzenio and Anastrazole daily since last November (breast cancer). Has the Prolia caused you any heartache?

Hi there. I have been tolerating the Prolia pretty well. Are they going to give you Prolia? It’s nice because I only have to get the injections once every 6 months.

I too had lumpectomy and radiation, no lymph nodes. I am choosing not to take estrogen blockers because of side effects. I am 73 and don't want anymore discomfort than I already have. Arthritis in my back and intestinal issues.

I actually had 3 nodes taken plus surrounding tissue by the tumor. All were negative and I've decided not to get radiation or take the hormone blockers. I've done a lot of research and for me, the side effects out weigh the benefit.

Hi
Unfortunately I had a microscopic break in one of the milk ducts walls .The radiologist felt it would be A risk not to do the radiation , so I made that decision.

Thank you for your reply. I have appt with rheumatologist next Tuesday to start the ball rolling for Prolia. I decided I really have no other option. Im 82 years young and as a great friend said, "it would be sad if a hip breakage could not be repaired." That got my attention. Im so glad you're tolerating it. If you have any specific symptoms, I'd appreciate knowing. Doc said I would take 4 injections, every six months for 2 years. Blessings and thanks again. Hugs.

@kategiddyup, I'm sorry to hear that cancer has returned. May I ask what type is the recurrence? Ductal or lobular? What treatment is being recommended?

LCIS and I have a video appt in a week to see which hormone pill I will be on. I took Aromasin before and it was mentioned in my last appt that might be the drug I go on again. .... story to be continued, I guess.... update later.
