A member asked:

I had 1mm of invasive dcis and had lumpectomy, mastectomy and 13 nodes removed, tamoxifen. high estrodial, then bi.ooph & arimidex (anastrozole) is it excessive?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO : Lots of information missing , the results of the tests. If I have to guess had initial lumpectomy , later mastectomy was done most likely due to recurrence , ovaries removed to control skeletal metastasis, if it is true it is usual correct pathway to control aggressive tumor in 53 yr old , not true provide additional info, speak to oncologist , good luck if all neg , seek ii nd opinion.
