We don't know grade, whether you had lymphovascular invasion, size or other factors so hard to "advise."
I had Ontotype of 8, grade 3, LVI. I was told that one in 5 radio-oncologists would recommend radiation. I opted to take Femara (letrozole) but did not do radiation. But that's me.
I already had had osteoporosis when I went on Femara and my doc did not want to do Reclast (due to my afib, but that issue has since been resolved). I lost more bone the first year, but then the bone loss eased- similar to what happened with menopause.
You can take Prolia or a biphosphonate during treatment, if the bones become an issue. I am now on Tymlos and regaining my bone density, I hope.
There is so much fear about aromatase inhibitors. I have to confess I was eager to take them and miss the feeling of safety!
Hey, Windyshores,
Thank you for your response. I have Stage 1, no node, IDC. Surgery on Sept. 27th. I met today with my team. We decided on a short course of radiation ( 73 years old), so 5 days. Also, I will try Letrozole and watch for any intolerable side effects. Feeling relieved about decision making. Finally moving forward!
