Hello-
I had 7 mm tumor IDC- I chose lumpectomy and reconstruction on both breast. 15 rounds radiation with a booster. My tumor was so small they couldn’t get an onco score. But told to take AI drug( I tried all 3) for 5 years. I did for 2.5 and went off - too many side effects for me.

@celestebradham Hi, Thank you for the good notes! Wonder what women did back in the old days, after my Mom had BC and surgery / cobalt at age 35 in 1955, between then and now, before radiation started being added to surgery, then the big 3 - surgery, radiation, and pharma? Wondering if the outcomes were really a lot greater now than back then. Older sister, surgery 20 years ago, radiation after surgery burned her skin and caused skin cancer at the spot, decided
not to take the Tamoxifen offered. Thankfully her breast cancer has not returned. Blessings to all you great ladies!💕
