Thank you for sharing your experience with me! I am so sorry this happened, but I applaud you for advocating for yourself and insisting to the MRI. I hope you are revovering well!

This was one of the first appointments I have had during this cancer process where I attended alone. I think, in the future, I absolutely need my husband or a family member with me. I find myself a little less likely to speak up when it is just me--usually because I'm trying to absorb all of the information at the time.

Again, thank you for sharing--take care!

I had a unilateral mastectomy in February’22 and my ONCOTYPE suggested that chemo was not a benefit in my case. Breast surgeons did not recommend radiation ( it’s a long story) so I am taking Aromatase for 5-10 years . Tolerating well for the stuff one can observe. Will do a DEXA in one year ( verses 2 ) to get an early handle on bone mineral density. Of course insurance will only pay every 2 years … IMO an oz. prevention is worth a pound of cure !

I’m recovering well so far 🌸

Great idea. It takes a village. I always bring a second pair of ears!

Best to you 🌸
