Because of my recent cancer diagnosis of Radiation Induced ANGIOSARCOMA - as a result of my 1st breast cancer in 2014 - I read several studies - the main one was published in July 2014 - that the new protocol is to not do a Lumpectomy but to do a mastectomy and depending on the low stage of cancer - (stage 1) and the small size of the tumor (less than 1.5 mm) no radiation is recommended. An aromatase inhibitor may be taken. I took the AI LETROZOLE (Femara). So prior to the July 2014 published study 2 months prior I had a Lumpectomy - 6 weeks of Radiation and took the AI. Pill LETROZOLE (Femara) and 9 years later I got breast cancer in the same breast - I was diagnosed with ANGIOSARCOMA - which is the delayed side effect of receiving radiation for the treatment of breast cancer in 2014. It was cancer of my blood vessels- and it is rare and Aggressive. I just had a Mastectomy of my breast. It was recommended that I have no treatments but will be monitored by scans every 3-6 months and have conversations with My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ every thinking moment. I regret that they would not allow me to have my breast removed the first time - if I would have had it removed I wouldn’t have had to take 6 weeks of radiation but I would have taken the AI Pill Letrozole (Brand name: Femara). I just wanted to give you an insight of my 2 cancers - and what I’ve learned. Not to tell you what to do. But I did do lots of research and read studies on my new type of cancer Radiation Induced ANGIOSARCOMA (R-I-A)
