I had stage 1B, Grade 3, Oncotype 34, Total Nottingham of 9, Ki-67 was 65%, 98% estrogen positive. I can't find it now but I seem to recall that the stage ended up a II something. I will have to research that more. Those numbers all add up to high risk and more aggressive than expected, especially in my age group. As much as I try to talk myself out of Exemestane, I know it is my hope of fighting this disease. I consider myself cured at this time. Your note, as well as the others here, really did help me. Thank you Briarrose. I am a retired nurse too. I was never exposed to chemo patients so this whole thing is new to me. My cancer was on the right. My best veins are on the right. So, I am very protective of my left arm veins and want a really good technician to do my blood draws. I actually get nervous before draws. I wrap my arm in a fleece jacket and drink lots of water before labs. After this long a time I finally think that I have faced my mortality. I don't like it one bit. My family doesn't live near and I so want to spend time with them. My GI track has never really recovered from everything. So that is a concern when away from my apartment. I am mostly on a FODMAP diet. Well, not much on there to enjoy but managing. Am doing better so hope to hop on a plane this Fall to see a son and grandson. Adjust is a key word for this path we are all on. I appreciate each and every one of you.
