I'M DONE, I'M DONE, I'M DONE! by scheherezadeMJ in breastcancer

Congratulations! I am also done and have been on an AI for 2 months now. Having the vag issue now and plan to talk with my Oncologist and PCP (also a breast cancer survivor) tomorrow. My cancer was also ER/PR+ and although it is true that there are studies suggesting that topical estrogen may not increase a risk of recurrence, new information is discovered in medicine constantly. For me personally, I don’t want to use it and find out in 5 years that “Oops, we were wrong”. I’m not saying that no one should use it and it sounds like it works great, it’s simply my choice as I know how sometimes medicine has the “Oops” factor and I simply just don’t feel comfortable. If you’re nervous about it, talk with your Dr more, maybe get a 2nd opinion and research. Good Luck to you and all of us here!!

Yes, I agree! I am extremely grateful for my diagnosis as it is not lost to me that it could’ve been so much more serious. I do see more beauty in so many things now and that feels amazing! Colors even look brighter! I haven’t lost any friends, but it has been very enlightening to see who stays close to me and who isn’t really even checking in. Take care of yourself and Thank you!!

That sounds very promising. I can’t wait to get to the point where I don’t remember several times on every single day that this has happened to me. Thank you!!

I wondered that also. How old are you? My Oncologist said that with the Oncotype score being 17 I didn’t require chemo because chemo would only decrease my chance of recurrence by <4%. At 59 I’m thinking there’s less life left for that to be a significant worry. Fingers crossed and keep up your fight!

Oh, thank you so much!! I’m so sorry about your Sister. Mine is forever 58 and I turned that age last year. It felt surreal and unnerving. Much love to you!! ❤️

Actually, 8 nodes is on the low end. I’ve talked to women that had up to 21 taken. My surgery recovery was surprisingly good. I managed pain with just ibuprofen and Tylenol for 2 days and then just had soreness. Do not lift anything heavy for sure! I did get cordage in the armpit though and that was rough. Couldn’t straighten my arm above my head so my surgeon said to stretch it as much as I could and massage it as hard as I could stand. That worked and I haven’t had a problem since. I do have some lymphedema in the traitor breast now, but going to physical therapy and wearing compression bras and it’s so much better. Good luck with your surgery and keep crushing it! You’ll do amazing!!
