Hi

I had one. They thought it would be high, but it turned out to be 11, which is low. I dodged chemo and radiotherapy, but the medication is killing my joints.

Hi Magsie

Thank you for your reply. I'm glad to here you didn't need chemo. I've already been told I definitely need radiotherapy and then Tamoxifen for 5 years.  Do you mind me asking how old you were when you had the test? I'm 46 xx

Hi again

I started when I was 57/58, and I must say that I was really glad to have had it. I've been on Arimadex and Exemestane since then, and I've been advised to keep going for another 2 to 3 years. That would make it about 8 in all once... maybe... I could stop. No-one really knows, but I wouldn't want to stop if there's any chance that it could return. It was aggressive but I only had one nodule removed as it hadn't spread far. It could have affected more nodules, but the more you have removed, the more problems it creates. I guess it's the not knowing that is so unnerving.
