I had the diagnosis of ILC on Nov. I had a lumpectomy and sentinel node dissection on the 18th of Nov. 1.7 cm mass..no node involvement ..sentinel removed..10 nodes checked ….margins clear. Mass was ILC ER+ PR- Her2- .Had balloon brachytherapy Dec12- 2x a day for 4 days. Fu next month with an oncologist to see about hormone blockers. I am 76 and will do my research to see about the blockers..have not heard good things.

Hi @trishc, how are you doing? Don't forget that everyone reacts differently to medications and that people who do not experience challenging side effects likely do not report on a forum like this one. So it can give a biased view. Forums like this one help women cope with managing side effects and discussing options.

Your oncologist will review the various options available for you, and the pros and cons of each. Ultimately, the decision is yours. You are in control. Did you have the consult with the oncologist to discuss hormone treatment?
