Stage 1 lobular breast cancer, anyone no treatment after surgery?

WHAT what type of blood work is needed. YOU MEAN TO CHECK HORNONES LEVELS?. I can’t take the meds for medical reason but I read they are not so sure how much those hormones really help ILC.
For me it’s a risk either way😬. Did have a low score of 11 . And had lumpectomy and radiation. I’m 76 with osteroperosis and PMR and neuropathy on prednisone for over 3 years since the Covid shots. Just praying for the best.🙏for all of us

@sharon44r I think she means annual bloodwork to make sure everything looks good. I'm 72, stage 1a & starting with a half-dose of Tamoxifen (10 mg) tonight! Tamoxifen helps protect bone health. Sending best wishes to you.

@sharon44r I have read and been told that letrozole and other AI drugs stop your body from producing estrogen and progesterone which are fuel for any invasive lobular cancer cell. That is why I take it. I have a little osteoporosis but I am not taking those medications because they do not grow bone so instead I am lifting weights and changed my diet and supplements to support bone growth. I don’t know if they do bloodwork to ever check estrogen levels but I suppose you could ask. Hope this helps.
