Timely post given my most recent diagnosis.

Thankfully no chemo is being recommended at this time. But I am eeksing over whether the ?estrogen receptor blocker? med which name I don't have yet as I don't see medical oncology until after surgery sometime and if my rx coverage will even cover it at all.

Personally, I lean to agree with the content of the segment. Sad actually.
