Dede,
I am an 8 year survivor of Stage 1 BC. I too had a lumpectomy, removal of the first 3 lymph nodes, which were clear. I had six weeks of radiation, 5 years on Tamoxifin and am on my 3rd year on Femara. The surgery was the easy part. If you must go on Tamoxifin, ask for a prescription of Effexor to help with the hot flashes. I am more concerned with my diabetes than I was about the cancer, it was caught early.
Let me know if I can answer any questions you may have.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
