Hi! New here. Im about to start my journey on AI's and in my research have found so many similarities between the different meds (with highlight on the concerns I have) I almost feel like its a crap shoot, and to go with one and see how it works and if there are too many side effects try another. I am 53 yrs old and this has been a pretty quick ride so far. My biopsy results (March 16) Invasive Lobular Carcinoma Early Stage (right breast). Surgery Was May 6 ( I opted for Double Mastectomy w/o reconstruction) and the pathology came back Invasive Ductal Carcinoma with Lobular features there was a lymph node excision and thankfully they came back negative. Pathology from surgery Grade 2 Stage 1 ER 100% PR 95% HER2 negative. I just received my Oncotype score today (13) I was also lucky enough to be able to have Genetic Cancer testing done and none of the genetic cancers came up ( I dont know if thats something smaller offices offer, God answered my prayers and I was able to get in at Duke). I am very happy with both my Surgical oncologist and my Medical Oncologist. They are both informative and take the time to answer questions. I had a partial hysterotomy back in 2003 (pre cancerous cells) so they ran hormone tests to confirm that I am post menopausal. My concerns focus highly on the depression and anxiety as I do have mental health dx Bi Polar & Generalized Anxiety prior dx of depression. Currently on Seroquel, Buproprion and Xanax. My other concerns are the Brain Fog/Memory issues. Anyhow, I just wondered if there was anyone with a similar history. Age? Hysterectomy, mental health history of dx or meds as I really wonder how much that effects things. Or any information at all honestly. My Dr. wants me to start on Anastrazole and will be calling in the rx in the next couple of days as soon as he gets the go ahead from me. We adopted our grandson who is now 11, I have to be functional. I see so much in regard to Quality of life vs quantity. Am I wrong to want both? TIA!
