I had a lumpectomy with radiation and as I had my tumor on the left side, I did the breath hold technique when receiving radiation. I did fine.
You should have no problem especially if your doctor has given the okay.
I’m 64 and have been taking Arimidex with no problems.
My husband also has congestive heart failure and is taking the same medication as you and is doing very well at 68. Although he won’t change his diet. ♥️

I had the lumpectomy for multifoci lbs on left breast.
Stage 1 grade low recurrence score.
I was told I could skip radiation by ancoligist if I went on hormone blockers. With all the other issue I have pmr osteoporosis, they recommended tamafoxin, which isn’t the best for LBC but less bone damage with it. I really didn’t want to take hormone blockers since I have been on prednisone for over 2 yrs.
I decided to talk to radiation doctor, and he told me since a lot of women can’t tolerate the hormone blockers and since I have multifoci in 1 quadrant, I should get radiation.
I did 16 treatments, with hold the breath sessions and got extremely sore after last treatment. It only protects the breast that was affected,
Im 75, and they tell older women a lot they don’t need radiation, with stage one, I think they say that because they think something else will get you before the cancer.
Not sure if I made the right choice. It’s a hard decision to make when they leave it up to you.
