In 2001 I had a lumpectomy and radiation. My oncologiost recommended 3 chemo treatments but I refused based on the fact my margins were clear and there was no cancer in my lymph nodes. In 2003 the cancer came back in the same breast. I had taken estratest in between cancers due to the horrible effects of menapause. Is there any studies about the reoccurrance of breast cancer and radiation & chemo as it relates to a lumpectomy. Or is there any studies that show taking estratest after having breast cancer causes a reoccurance of breast cancer?
Sincerely,
Vickie
