Stage 1a er/pr+ her2- left side lumpectomy with IORT. Negative lymph nodes. But margin was not clear so had 2nd surgery. Genomic test came back positive for risk of recurrence so had TC chemo x 4 and radiation 5days/week for 3 weeks. Cardiologist did echocardiogram after treatment to reassure me no heart damage. I still think about it though. Anasterole daily for 5 years.

article from A!erican Heart Assn. said damage can come years later. Said women die from heart much more than cancer and may be overtreated for bc.
