I did not. My understanding is that it could appear in the future but I’m feeling confident that I’m ok 7 mos later. I did not have radiation which “ could” up the percentages a bit. My exchange surgery was in July and my only treatment going forward is ( anti ) hormone meds aka AI … aromatase inhibitor. It interferes with the conversion of estradiol and progesterone INTO estrogen. My diagnosis was 99% estrogen positive!

Keep your eye on the prize… clearing cancer from the breast and any affected nodes. It’s a bewildering amount of information to digest and decisions to make.

Happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability. That said I am not a medical professional so check any information out with health team as everyone has a unique set of variables .

Best to you 🌸
