What would you do? …if you were on medicine you may not need to be on for as long as planned?
Years after my Cancer Journey….still looking for answers that will determine my future.
What would you do?
…if you were on medicine you may not need to be on for as long as planned?
What would you do?
…with new information regarding your breast cancer treatment?
What will I do?
That is the question I keep asking myself.
What should I do?
That is a question I am starting to ask my doctors.
Here is what I’ve just learned:
Breast Cancer Index is a test for the exact kind of cancer I had . Breast Cancer Index may change my original plans. I was supposed to be on anti-estrogen medicine for 10 years but now, I’m learning, I may be able to cut that in half. Breast Cancer Index is revolutionizing anti-estrogen therapy decision-making and that’s why I’m learning and sharing. Breast Cancer Index is a test to determine risk of recurrence and whether longer therapy is likely to benefit me.
Here is what I recently asked my doctor:
Question…do you know if I have had the Breast Cancer Index test? Is that something you typically use?
Here is how my doctor responded:
Breast Cancer Index is a test designed to assess the benefit of continuing anti-estrogen therapy beyond five years.
When you get to the five year mark, we’ll assess whether you should continue based on many factors – how you are tolerating meds, your bones, most up to date research
The most important result is that my doctor is informed. I feel grateful that I was informed and knew the question to ask. I have a few more months to go before I am a candidate for the test and evaluate. Stay tuned!
