Any testimonies where cancer didn't return?
I am new to this support group ( few weeks), but from what I have read there seems to be a trend with cancer coming back ( with all different diagnosis and treatment types). As I am still in the process of deciding on treatment, I'm starting to wonder " why bother going through all the side effects and feel ugly in the process if she-devil is just going to return".
Is there anyone out there that can speak to their win of cancer not coming back. What was ur diagnosis and treatment plan.. how long has it been since u were diagnosed?

I’m sorry to hear about your doctor. I am on my second medical oncologist for the same reason. Very dismissive, especially when I expressed concerns about the medication side effects. Letrozole and others in that class are called aromatase inhibitors and they cause bone loss. Tamoxifen is an estrogen receptor blocker and shouldn’t cause bone loss. That’s my understanding. I’m 57 and I tried one of the aromatase inhibitors and couldn’t take the side effects. I’m going to try Letrozole next. If AIs are not tolerable for me, I will try tamoxifen. For me, I will choose quality of life over quantity.
