Have any of you had surgery? Or are you trying to make it without having to have surgery?? I would love to talk to someone who is trying to avoid surgery. That's what I am doing at this point. I have one DCIS, one Invasive, and one atypical, all in one breast, none in the other breast. But they started me on anastrazole while I learned more and went through more testing, etc. I had several kinds of cancer...lung, ovarian, and breast, and I needed some time to think. Anyway, believe it or not, the breast cancer is hiding. We can see the titanium clips that were inserted when biopsies were done, but can't see the cancer. I am 75; there's only so long I can wait to have surgery, but I am trying to make it for the rest of my life without having surgery. I'm concerned that because of my medical history, I will die if I have a mastectomy. I would do it in a minute if I could get a lumpectomy, but am told by the surgeons that with the three things together, my breast would be very deformed with a lumpectomy - might as well have a partial mastectomy of that one breast with all the cancer. I'm still thinking about it; I mean, do I really want someone doing a partial mastectomy, digging around when they can't see the cancer and it's not in the clips anymore??? I just don't know what to do but I'm sort of forgetting I even have it. Scared to death about when it will suddenly pop up. As long as the anastrazole works....I am told it could work anywhere from 2 years to 20 years. It has now been 2 years, last MRI, US, Mammo were in June. Fingers crossed! I will so enjoy the support from this group, and will be supportive to all of you. Hugs.
