Haven’t posted for awhile. I have had 2 post operative/treatment exams since last October. Bloodwork, mammos and exams at the Mayo. Good results on both occasions. Initially, my ONCO doc insisted and really pushed the AI drug approach. I resisted and refused to go that route. However, now she only smiles and encourages me to be active, eat well, take vit D. I feel wonderful and continue to advocate for myself and seek comfort in praying and trusting.

I am exactly the same. DCIS Invasive, Stage 1, age 74 normal weight (until I started Anastrozole) hypo fractionated XRT 5 treatments. I did not like the side effects from the Anastrozole or how I was feeling in general. There seems to be very little data on those of us over 70 yrs. in our diagnostic group. I stopped the Anastrozole 7 weeks ago and just now feeling myself.
They seem to be treating with a one size fits all. The medical community also seems to admit that there is not enuf data for several reasons one being our age group just does not feel the need to put up with the discomforts of the AI treatments and I guess may be lost to follow up. I think the only info I could find was that the risk for 5 year recurrence with treatment is 5%;
without treatment 15%.
Good luck… would like to hear what your oncologist has to say.
