@kathyomaha55 I did 20 radiation only, my score was 19. Because we had so much breast cancer in family (all 5 maternal great aunts had but in their later years) and the mutation and I am NOT taking any cancer meds (terrible side effects), I believe my oncologist is playing it safe? I just changed oncologist from Sanford Sioux Falls, he called me morbidly obese and weak and I think he was upset I did not want to be a part of his research study. So, my new oncologist is so different and open. He even said my cancer was so close to stage 0. I am going through Avera cancer center

Wow - what a jerk! I'd get a new oncologist too. I'm sticking with the anastrozole for now - not sure if I can last the full 5 years. I had 21 radiation treatments. Well hang in there - you are not alone. I'm obese - but am working on that. Joined the YMCA. Small steps.
