I don't know what treatments my friend/colleague did for sure since it was 35 years ago. I only remember she elected a mastectomy because her twin sister had been battling more advanced breast cancer for a couple years and she didn't want to take any chances. It worked for her for sure. I worked with her for a long time after that and she still reaches out to me on occasion so I know she's doing well and is still full of energy. My cousin had stage III breast cancer with single mastectomy, radiation, chemo, AI and I'm not sure if any other meds. Ten years later she is still cancer free and they told her she could go off the meds. She decided if it ain't broke don't fix it and stayed on the meds. Many great long term survival stories out there. Best to you!
