@jmab I apologize that it’s been so long since your ?? Stage 1 & I practically had to beg for that bit of info! Tumor size is 2.5mm.
Surgeon doesn’t want to do another lumpectomy; can’t have more radiation. Tamoxifen? My mother died of uterine cancer…Anastrozole? I have osteoporosis.
My ex husband just divorced me after 57 years and has convinced 3 adult kids that I need inpatient hospitalization because I’m ‘crazy.’
Because I’ll be 80 in 2 months I see know reason for ANY treatment at this juncture! However, I’m attempting to get a second opinion at the suggestion of a breast center nurse…

@jmab
Stage 2. Radiation starts on Thursday. I will know more after that. When radiation is over, my MD will start me on hormone treatment for 10 years as my estrogen level was 97%. I am 75. My tumors on the right were 9 cm, 6 cm, and 6 cm. and growing at 18% in 3 weeks. But my bra size went from a C cup to an A cup in three months. My tumors on the left were little...9mm, 6mm, and 2 mm. My bra size went from a C to a B on that side in about the same time frame. I am used to playing tennis, bocci, tap dancing, exercising every day, balance class, etc.....now I am not allowed to do any of that as I am still healing. I hurt, hurt, hurt. My sister found something about PMPS but I think it is too early to diagnose that; the MD report has erythema on it....I am red/blue and really gross looking (I finally looked!). My belly is protruding. I just have to get use to this new body I guess. I am usually a very positive person, but I am struggling because of the pain. I am sure part of this is fear. Thanks for listening. Smiles.
