@babs28 Hello and hugs! Did your surgeon suggest any radiation or Letrozole treatment?
My Breast Team has surgery scheduled for me May 5 for lumpectomy 7 mm Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, Er+ PR+ but HER-2 neg. 4 to 6 weeks after surgery I will have radiation for one week, then 5 years of Letrozole. Anyone else having all three for their tumor? Thanks and hugs to you all! Suzanne

Originally they said no chemo, no radiation. I was happy. Then the radiation oncologist did a deep dive into what little research there is about my type of cancer. Research does support radiation. And I had a 5.3 cm tumor and a satellite tumor of < 1 cm.....so radiation for me. I understand the reasoning and agree with the decision. I will have full breast radiation M-F for 4-6 weeks. No chemo, no other medications.
