Hi All,
I just wanted to update after my appointment with my new oncologist. She is fantastic, so happy. We talked about my concerns taking Letrozole. She suggested using the Predict tool before I even said anything(so different from my previous oncologist) we decided that at 79 going on 80 and other health issues an only a 2% dncrease is just not worth it. So no to taking a drug with all the side effects and yes to finally finding a doctor that will listen. It's not one size fits all. I pray that all of you achieve good health and healing on this journey. God bless!

@keywestsj Congrats on finding an oncologist who will treat you (or not!!) based on your own research and sound medical studies. I haven’t found that doctor yet in Philly! So I have adopted my firm stance of having no treatments. Who needs a new boob at 79? Not me!
My docs (plural) haven’t been able to even ballpark my life expectancy IF I take Rx after mastectomy. I checked the probable life expectancy of a white woman born in 1946. The answer amazed me: 79.7 years. When I die --whenever that happens— it will be of something…breast cancer, car accident, heart attack, or just old age. I’ve lived a good life on the whole. And it sounds like YOU HAVE TOO. I’m THANKFUL that I read your post this Thanksgiving morning and will pray for you.
Let’s stay in contact, you and me. I support your decision 100%. 👏
