In May 2021, I was diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) in my left breast and both IDC and DCIS in my right breast. The nodules were so small that it finally took an MRI to confirm the need for a biopsy. Even though the surgeon initially suggested bilateral mastectomies, I followed my intuition and chose bilateral lumpectomies. Stage 1, clean margins and clean lymph nodes. I had 5 consecutive days of radiation.
I’ve been on Letrozole for the past year. There have been numerous side effects from the Letrozole along the way; however, my system seems to be righting itself.
I do both strength training and yoga twice a week, and meditation. Going to counseling weekly. Eating as healthy a diet as I know to do. Have discarded 35 pounds and feel great.
My Mammogram and MRI this year were good. I thank God for where my current health is.
