@Lynn1 - my surgery was 17th Jan 2018.
I had Invasive Lobular Cancer & had breast conserving surgery/lumpectomy with immediate reconstruction.

I started on Letrozole for 6 weeks, then Exemestane for 6 months & now on Arimidex.
My surgery was private ($2000+ gap) and my radiation was public (free - with just a small cost for accommodation at the hospital - most was subsidised by the Gov), as the treatment is daily & I had it at Port Macquarie as it was not available locally.
take care xx
