I am Stage 0 Grade 1, Lumpectomy and 3 weeks of radiation. 1 week down 2 to go. I chose not to take Anti Hormone Medication. I already have arthritis. With a low stage my occurrence rate is very low.

I also have IDC with clear margins and nodes. I did 16 radiation treatments but I'm still weighing the hormone treatments vs quality of life. I have started taking 100 mg of DIM (dindolylmethane) supplements. The goal is balanced estrogen levels. I decided to give it 3 months and reevaluate. We all need to make decisions based on our own bodies. Best of luck to you. ❤

I had a lump ectomy in 2017, lymph nodes and surrounding tissue were clean and no cancer. I received and Eight. Chemotherapy Treatments, 20 radiation treatments, one year of herseptin, and perjetta infusion, I have been taking a anastrozole, and I have to take it for 10 years because of the type of cancer cells ,I had Luminal B and Her2 positive.cancer cells. I try to keep very active with water, exercise, and weight training.
I have very weak knees because of arthritis and it’s just hereditary, so that is where most of my pain that I experience. I have been going to Zion, Illinois, the cancer treatment center of America, which is now called City Of Hope, for my surgery and treatments. I have been going every six months. I never questioned my oncologist when he suggested I take anastrozole. I hope this is helpful to you all.

My diagnosis and treatment is nearly identical. to yours. I am on day 7 of 21 radiation and will resume the aromatase inhibitor after radiation (took it for a month before). I'm not really interested in having a recurrence of breast cancer.

I had a lumpectomy in November(IDC) stage 1, grade 2..clean margins, no lymph nodes, oncotype 27...but low mammoprint. ...decided to do mastectomy with autologous reconstruction. 7 weeks post op and very happy I didn't do chemotherapy or radiation. Still trying to decide about medications. My gut says no way..oncologist suggested doing a trial of Tamoxifen.
