Hi Louise,
I missed that when I read your first post. Just wanted to make sure if you had a lumpectomy you had radiation, but it's not (usually) needed with a mastectomy and clear nodes.
Congratulations on the end of your treatment. At my 6-month follow-up I asked my doctor whether I could be on a trial. I didn't necessarily want to continue taking chemo or pills if I was NED, but I wanted to feel like I had/was doing everything I could.
She finally thought of one trial I could be eligible for, so I've signed up for it. It's a study whether taking Melatonin reduces BC risk. I figure it's a pretty harmless pill to take as far as meds go, and maybe it will help me sleep better! Of course I could end up with the placebo.
take care,
Anna
