Hi - Hang in there and so understand where your "are" - I finished my 19 radiation treatments last week and my onco likes to wait two weeks post radiation to start anti hormone meds. I'm 57 and will start on letrozole which I've very anxious about but taking one day at a time. I think your plan for re-excision sounds very similar to what my plan would have been had my margins not been clear. Once you get your oncotype results you will have a better roadmap in terms regarding if chemo would be part of the plan. I also was anxious about lumpectomy vs mastectomy but I am now very comfortable with lumpectomy decision as the science really does say in our cases the mastectomy doesn't impact the rate of re-occurrence. Don't look back on HRT treatment as who knows whether that had any impact. Keep us posted and hang in there!!

Thank you-so glad to have found this discussion. I have a super supportive hub and fam and friends but its just not the same. Its a road you dont know or understand until you are on it. Of course stopping all HRT in december has thrown me right into terrible night sweats and insomnia, not helping, and also makes me dread the hormone blocking meds. I will be following this group/posts and wish everyone well. ❤️
