Hooray for you! As patients we tend to lean into our physician ‘s advice as gospel but I totally agree with you! I e had a rather large lump in left breast over two years. Was told “nothing to worry about “ over a year. Then went to ob-gyn for endometriosis (found when I had MRI for pneumonia) she examined my breast and the immediate reaction was very telling. After further tests was told “it’s ILC” and went through several months of tests and biopsies then told I would need mastectomy. I was failed in so many ways by the medical team I could have sued and won I’m certain. But I decided to use my energy to fight the cancer instead. I had to travel 90 minutes each way to my surgery oncologist but was relieved when she offered the 6-9 months on letrozole then a lumpectomy. (I had lumpectomy on right breast more than 22 years before—which should have been considered from the get-go!) Now I’m 7 months on letrozole with lumpectomy scheduled for March—but oncologist now says if I need her to go back in to get the circumference needed per pathology report—it would probably mean a mastectomy. I am so upset as I had gone this route at her direction to prevent a mastectomy! Now the extreme tiredness from the medication and the thought of having to take it for 5-10 years following surgery is wearing me down. I turn 79 in a couple weeks and like others, am thinking just talent chances without taking anything g and live my best life for whatever time God allows. Wondering what others think about this…TIA and thanks for “listening”.
