marcia115 - I saw a post where the woman said she had 5 sessions of radiation as a form of “clean up”. That sounds good to me.

I’m also going to make an appointment with a new oncologist for a second opinion before I make any decisions.

As far as the estrogen inhibitor, I want to know about the choices - there’s more than one and I will probably agree to try the inhibitor and see how I tolerate it. I’ll let you know.

@marcia115 many of us took these medications with few side effects. Companies are legally required to list all possible side effects for any and all meds, and forums tend to have more posts by those who do suffer from side effects. Try different ones if you have issues, and also try different manufacturers. I was determined to take an AI and ended up taking brand name Femara.
