@rlcoleman I am just spinning thinking of how crazy making that would be. Waiting on biopsy results over and over let alone worrying about if they will catch it if it does come, when they keep looking and don’t find it. It sounds like a crazy upside down version of the boy who cried wolf.
To address your question about hormone therapy. There are a bunch of different drugs to try and sometimes it is just finding the right one. I will tell you I had some nausea with anastrozole for a couple months then it stopped. I was on it for years with some side effects related to the hormones, like hot flashes. Tamoxifen was a lot more difficult for me.
Have you talked to your doctor about a mastectomy?

Hi. Thank you for your response. I actually had a consult today with the plastic surgeon and a conversation with my doctor right afterwards. She is very supportive in my decision, whatever it will be. The waiting is nerve-racking and stressful. Every time I have my MRI and mamo there is something suspicious that needs to be biopsied.
I am looking for opinions from others. Am I being too proactive and paranoid?
