Hi @arpie when I was diagnosed my oncologist put me straight on hormone med. to block oestrogen. No chemo, radio. or operations. He did do a biopsy but said it was just a formality. He said the treatment was hopefully going to be effective and that the primary breast lump was not the priority, rather the areas where the cancer had spread. I have CT scans every 6 weeks and tumour markers checked every 2 weeks. He says as long as they are dropping or stay the same he is happy. I have now been put on ribociclib. My tumour markers have decreased so my body is responding well to the medication.
