I just marked 8 years on October 4. Diagnosed at age 41 with Stage 1, Grade 3 IDC. ER+(90%), PR+(80%), Her2+++. I was treated with lumpectomy, 4 A/C, 35 RADS, 3 1/2 years of Tamoxifen, and 3 years of Arimidex after my hysterectomy and oophorectomy in 2004. NO Herceptin for Stage 1 back then and NO Taxol for node negative either. So far, NED.
Recurrence crosses my mind since from what I've heard, most recurrences are within 2 years after completing treatment and, technically, I just completed treatment 11 months ago.
I have had 2 episodes of severe visual disturbances in the last 3 months; of course, everyone knows what the first thing that crossed my mind was; but, my PCP thinks it may just be something called ocular migraine but just to be sure he did order a brain MRI scheduled this Wednesday.
I will watch this discussion with much interest.
