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!

Hey elliej

I had stage 1 no node IDC. Had my surgery in july and finished my radiation in September (3 weeks)…..still struggling with a bit of side effects.

Will be on anastrazole for 5 years and very concerned about side effects. However, whatever they may be ,its better than not giving it a chance …
My SIL has been on letrozole for about a year and got some hot flashes….. her bone density test is ok so far … ..
Sometimes moving forward is difficult.

Good luck to you🙏🏻
