You say you haven't been diagnosed with BC but had genetic testing. If you are unsure seek another opinion and if need be a third. Gather as much information as you can and make your decision from there.

I was on Letrozole for 5 years and never had any problems with it. Have you had testing to see if you indeed have mets from your breast cancer or something else? I may be wrong, as I'm not a doctor but I've never heard of breast cancer metastizing to the muscles but suppose it could.

Comment 0I've tried answering this several times but the site hasn't allowed me to so will try again. I used to do mammograms and this is what we'd do. If a lumpectomy was done then the routine views would be done on both breasts. If a mastectomy was done with no reconstruction then the routine 2 views of the remaining breast but if some sort of reconstruction was done or implants put in then the routine 2 views of each breast. Breasts with implants require twice as many pictures either with or without a mastectomy. It is still important to do your monthly breast exam and a yearly one by your doctor even with a mastectomy.

Have you gotten your biopsy results yet? I'm not a doctor but think when a Pathologist does his work he marks sections with a special ink as does the one doing the biopsies to mark say left and right or up and down.

My lymph node biopsy was part of my mastectomy surgery. They need to know the status of the lymph nodes prior to chemo. as they may need to change their medication plans depending on the result. Have you had any breast surgery yet?

No they want me to get a lymph node biopsy first, (Dr said they are suspect) then chemo (make tumor small) then surgery (hoping for a lumpectomy) with reconstruction , finally radiation
