First anniversary
I am new to this group... can't beleive it has taken me 12months to find this platform. Possibly wasn't really looking. I was diagnosed with Invasive Duct Carcinoma (no special type) Grade 3, Hormone + HER2 - on the 1st of Nov 2022. I have had a lumpectomy, chemo, radiation, currently taking anastozole 1mg & a hystorectomy. No breast cancer or any cancer (except my sister) on either side of my family. I chose to do a gene test to see if there was genetic link between my younger sister's sarcoma diagnosis 8 years ago & my BC. Curiosity killed the cat and I have the BRCA 2 gene mutation. Unfortunately so does my sister. They are suggesting a bilateral mastectomy. I am unsure whether I should go flat or have reconstruction. I would love to hear how people have made this decision and how their surgeries went. Thank you for reading.
Anastrozole dosage.
Has anyone tried, preferably after medical advice, taking a day off Anastrozole every so often? I had the very best day yesterday. I cleaned my house. My eyesight was normal. I had only normal pain. I have a chronic condition that causes pain. Even my tinnitus was much less. At first I thought I’d turned the corner.......until......I realised I hadn’t taken my tablets the night before, including my Anastrozole. Last night I went back on it and today I’m back to crappy. I was wondering about taking a day off every fortnight just to feel normal, and wondered if anyone was doing that.
Anyone with issues with Bisphosphonates lots of mixed messages don’t know what to
I am reading so many different things about the good and bad of Bisphosphonates (Zometa) . I am getting really anxious and just don’t know which way to go. Definitely not going to use Prolia so now have to think about this Zometa . I am 70 and very healthy and active no other drugs nothing other than this early BC for which I have had surgery and radiation. I am on Anastrozole no problems and Oestopenic So worried that this infusion might change everything completely for me. Dr wants me to have 4 infusions. Any thoughts welcome
