Hi @marydel, My breast cancer is invasive lobular carcinoma, completely separate from the lung cancer which is an adenocarcinoma. Mine is strongly estrogen and progestogen positive (90+%), HER2 negative. I don't have the BRCA genes. I did have a single mastectomy in November '24, without reconstruction, and the removal of 5 lymph nodes. Considering the lung cancer diagnosis and my fierce independent streak, I wanted the simplest surgical option so I could get back to living my fairly active life. I understand that everyone has their own reasons for making the decisions that they do, it's a very personal choice. My post-surgical pathology showed a 3 cm tumor, with a low chance for recurrence, and two lymph nodes with micro-metastases. I started zoladex injections and one of the aromatase inhibitors (AI, exemestane) to remove the estrogen from my body. I'm fairly new with the AI, and I continue to work through some of the side effects. Hoping that some of those calm down soon.
I'm glad your lung onc and breast surgeon are communicating and developing a plan. It's important to have input from both sides. I'll be interested to see what they think. Were you noticing any side effects from the lung? If yes, has the Tagrisso helped? When do you have your next follow up appointment?
