ILC w/1 lymph node cancerous. Standard not to radiate lymph area?

@mickeyambrose49 I am wondering why, at 66, they put you on tamoxifen. Have you now tried aromatase inhibitors? I was able to tolerate brand name letrozole and later found out that I could tolerate letrozole from one manufacturer. Lobular can be harder to image, according to my doc, so glad you got it diagnosed.
More importantly, it is good that you had that bone scan so in the end being a squeaky wheel helped you! I also looked those terms up and the Mayo site says that enchondromas can sometimes transform into chondrosarcoma.
It seems that this new kind of tumor is not related to your breast cancer. Is that right? The Mayo site says that sometimes they are slow-growing and hoping you caught it early and surgery takes care of it. So sorry you are dealing with this!
I really hope you hear from someone Monday and don't have to wait for info and treatment.

I have really bad arthritis and the tamoxifen is suppose to be gentler on your bones and joints but that medicine left me with short term memory loss still.I’m just praying it goes away in time.
You’re rt. . . This type of bone cancer,if I do have it is more than likely genetic and a different kind of cancer not from the breast. The endochondroma that was confirmed scares me even tough it’s not cancer be cause it’s a treatment of my bone. I guess they have to scrape out the inside of the bone. Do you know if the put you under for needle biopsies?
