Hi @lhhwoz - my ILC very similar - at 57 yrs old and finished radiation end of January and now on Letrozole. I feel there is no std protocol for follow up scans. My oncologist at Dana Farber feels any scans (even while I have very dense breasts) are not helpful in a year! So I have a diagnostic mammo scheduled not until a year (Oct - regular mammo month). May I ask what your timeline looks like in terms of follow up? Thanks so much!! xo
Yes! This site is amazing! We are nearly identical, but I am 64 and only needed one surgery(Feb 8, 2023). On Anastrozole nearly one month. Doing LIVESTRONG exercise program at YMCA - free to cancer "patients" past or present. Lots of great exercise keeping me active and happy!
