DCIS breast cancer?

Thank you so much for your reply. I do see the oncologist next week. I did see an Ortho neuro surgeon regarding my back. Thankfully PT has made it so much better.

I do have osteopenia so will be doing a Dexa scan this summer to check on bone loss.

It's a lot to deal with but the PT exercises have distracted me from the breast pain. The nurse practitioner at radiology thought it was from the treatments.

Thanks again

@flowergal - You are on the right track; do ask all of them - Remember that the oncologist can change your Aromatase Inhibitor, or change your dose - IF Anastrozole is a contributor to your breast pain. I have had/have breast pain, and my MRIs, Diagnostic Mammograms, and Breast Ultrasounds do not show any reoccurrence of cancer. Like you, I also have been told by all the doctors that it is one of the side effects of radiation treatments.

Are you being followed by an Endocrinologist? If not, you may want to find a good one to help you with your osteopenia, particularly since you have had a back fracture AND you are taking Anastrozole.

HUGS!
