Hi! Newbie here! Just wanted share, a lil'

Hi, just read your post. I agree with you that you should have had more tests early on, when you suspected something was wrong. I think a lot of medical treatments are run like an assembly line. I hope your care in the future is more comprehensive. I, too, feel like I am in the twilight zone, after 2 years. But for different reasons. I realized too late that the radiation center I went to was evasive with answers, and gave as minimal information as possible, leading to my having a panic attack when the machine rotation abruptly changed from what I had come to expect, and it was because once a week, they do an extra set of xrays, called port films, and to do them, they rotate the machine in reverse, but keep these secret from patients. As they told me later, "We can't tell people about these things as they get scared and don't show up for their appointments. " Is this professionalism? I thought they had completely changed my treatment because it wasn't working. I can still feel the panic in the pit of my stomach when the machine wasn't doing what I thought was my routine treatment. The. "understanding" doctor told me I was criticizing because I got scared. Later when I asked a question about something on my schedule, I was told "I knew that would freak you out!" The whole experience involved confusion, even into interactions after treatment finished.

What I have learned from this is to trust my instincts. If I am getting bad vibes in an office, run as fast as possible to a different doctor. And make a formal complaint about unprofessional happenings.

I am on Letrozol almost 5 years now and want to be done. Had grade 1 estrogen positive HER2 neg cancer. Comments on being done with drug at 5 years. Hopefully my dr. Agrees. My bone density has gotten bad, especially in back, and I fell and had a small fracture in my back. I’m thinking continuing drug is not warranted. Any comments.

can I ask if you’ve taken anastrazole?
