Osteoporosis is definitely an issue, especially with Endocrine therapy. But is treatable and in some cases avoidable, when treatment starts earlier. I was told diabetes is a common thing after all that chemo, but I remain diabetes free, thankfully. I think we all worry a bit about it coming back. We all deal with that or attempt to deal with that in different ways. I know some who check out every ache and pain, I know some who just keep trying to pretend if they don’t ever see a doctor that it can’t come back. I think about breast cancer every day but I do not let it dictate my life in any way. I do have some issues but I try not to focus on them too much. I was in my thirties when I was diagnosed so I can imagine I will still have time to obsess if I want to. Lol. I will certainly be rooting for you on the 25th. How are you tolerating the letrozole?

I don’t think I have anything different w Letrozole I read some people don’t like what they are taking. It’s a tiny pill, so I figured it couldn’t do much harm daily. Being silly. A therapist said since I was taking it, it meant I had a certain kind of cancer. I can’t remember and am hoping my files made it to Mayo so I can write it down.
