@sagey, sounds like your cancer responds well to Letrozole and that it helped the surgery be successful. How long will you be on Letrozole after surgery?

@colleenyoung I was told 5-10 years.

I'm curious how you are doing now. I'm in a nearly identical situation. I finished chemo in early January and was getting ready to start radiation when we found a recurrence in the chest wall that may be in the intercostal area of my ribs. I've been referred to a surgeon who specializes in breast surgery, just yesterday, so I haven't seen her yet. I'm freaking out!

@debcor Hi again, I'm wondering what you and your surgeon decided to do about the recurrence in your rib area? I have an appointment soon with the Proton Radiologist to see if I'm a candidate for that. Hope things have turned out well for you.
