Just wanted you to know, I had my breast cancer when I was 36. There was not Chemo, and Radiation was given only if Positive lymph nodes were found. No other testing was done except to diagnose the tumor was cancer. Unfortunately, I do not know what type etc. and the treatment was a Radical Mastectomy, and two years later a simple mastectomy of the second breast. There was no reconstruction at that time. I had no followup medication.
I did take several different t ypes of medication for Osteoporosis, which I have since stopped at the advise of my Hemotologist. I have developed an M in my blood which requires a check every 6 months. I have been told this is probably nothing, and if my next check is the same I do not have to be checked again for 1 year (God willing I am still here, I am 92 years old).
