Mastectomy questions
I am having a mastectomy in another 10 days on one side. with no reconstruction. Previously I had had a lumpectony, chemo and radiation 4 yrs ago, I'm just wondering how long the recovery period usually is and can you wear pullover shirts or do you need button down ones? Have people been restricted

Medicinal experiences
Hi all Following all the recent conversations about various meds people are being prescribed I thought I would add my experiences to the mix. Might be helpful. I was diagnosed with osteopenia several years ago and put on bisphosphonates. These eventually caused a hiatus hernia so I stopped taking them

Evista to prevent recurrence of IDC?
I am 4 months after bilateral mastectomy for invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). Have had 25 radiation treatments. Now considering Letrozole vs Tamoxifen vs Evista. Don't like the side effects of Letrozole or Tamoxifen. I favor Evista due to recent diagnosis of osteopenia. Has anyone else had experience
