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

@brightlight66 Yes, we're pioneers alright...partly because we are determined to advocate for ourselves & not just accept "one-size-fits-all"! Somewhat unrelated but interesting, my radiologist told me that the 5-day radiation therapy that I had (& is proven to be as effective as longer plans, wildly more convenient
& less harmful in other ways, too, was clinically tested mostly in England because US companies didn't like the fact that it was less profitable. Can you believe that?! In other words, nothing prescribed to us should be taken at face value. Thanks for the info! I support yout efforts 100%!

@jmab You got it exactly about not accepting "one-size-fits all!
Thanks for sharing about the 5-day radiation therapy clinical results from ENGLAND. It figures that US companies were after the profits.
I believe that is why there's no funding for breast cancer clinical studies looking at lower doses of AIs...just not profitable and is in conflict with selling more drugs. When I told my Oncology Nurse Practitioner that I was taking Exemestane 3X/week, she dismissed it as ineffective. I didn't bother to share that Dr. Andrea De Censi, oncologist from Italy, who has done the research, recommends taking every other day if one has side effects. Europe and the UK seem to be more progressive than US here.
