Hi! I am very surprised Dana Farber onco ( I do not see Otto but feel team approach is a plus at Dana) waits a full year and while it will be a diagnostic mammo I feel MRI would be more helpful given my dense breasts. All we have is early detection so I just don't understand but Dana is typically very conservative. They feel the tissue must "calm down" - but I still would feel less anxiety with a 6 month post surgery scan. Keep me posted.
I've been on Letrozole for 4.5 months and fatigue is my biggest complaint - the joint stiffness usually improves once get moving. So far - very tolerable! xox

My surgeon wanted an MRI 6mo. After surgery, but since I just finished radiation May 8, the radiologist says no mammo or MRI would be useful unto 6mo. After radiation effects on the breast clear up, so Nov. Will be my next MRI. I have been on Anastrozole a month this coming weekend. With lots of exercise, one nap seems to refresh me.
