I'm doing really well. I was happy to be randomized into the hormone therapy only group, though it wouldn't have fussed me if it had been the rad group. I found that if I wanted to be part of the trial I had to be 100% comfortable with being in either group otherwise too much dwelling on the 'what ifs'. For me it means I have radiation up my sleeve should bc ever have the audacity to return. I have only been on Letrozole for a week and have had minimal side effects...so far. Ask heaps of questions and ask them again if you feel you haven't understood what they're saying. Take someone with you to all the appointments because you won't take in everything, I know I didn't cos my husband would come out with info and I'd be saying 'I didn't hear that'. The sentinel node biopsy incision will give you more discomfort than the one on your breast. Get a post op bra or two before your op so you have something comfy to wear for after. Your breast care nurse should be able to help you with that. Good luck and hope all goes well with your surgery. CathXx
