Meeting my Oncologist-April 21st

April 22nd I got to meet the oncologist, but I must admit it was very anticlimactic as he really didn't tell me anything new and he had the personality of a dead fish.
He gave me a lot of statistics about various treatments including radiation, chemotherapy and hormonal treatment and the final decision was go with radiation and the hormonal treatment and forget the chemo. The doctor says at my stage of cancer (stage 1) chemo adds nothing to the life expectancy statistics and it makes your hair fall out, you get sick and GAIN weight. This whole process started so I would loose weight not gain it. He is optimistic that this should only delay my gastric bypass surgery, not cancel it.
I will start the hormonal therapy as soon as it arrives in the mail from the pharmacy and I will have to take it for 5 years. Breast cancer cells that grow from reacting with estrogen die because the hormonal therapy slips in where the estrogen normally would so it will kill off any left in my body.
As to the radiation I am still waiting to hear from the radiation oncologist to set up my radiation schedule. I'm told usually they allow 3-4 weeks for you to heal from the surgery before starting. I'm told it will be a daily treatment for six weeks with minimal side effects, mainly a mild sunburn and possible fatigue. The purpose of radiation is to kill off any stray cancer cells in the immediate vicinity of the breast that surgery may have missed but had not yet reached my lymph nodes.
So that is where we're at, I feel okay physically, tender from surgery but I have started walking on the treadmill so ready to get back into life. Emotionally I waver between feeling beat-up just dealing with so much medical stuff and feeling fine because by the time they diagnosed my cancer they had already removed it so it was a rather after the fact sort of thing.
All your prayers and good thoughts have been appreciated so thank you.
