Second Opinions & Genetic Testing

The oncologist here finally got back to me this evening after I sent three requests to review labs the PA ordered and let me know what the results mean. Immediate stop of Letrozole due to increased Estradiol levels and not in menopause. I haven't found a study yet that shows I was supposed to take Letrozole without OS if I was not in menopause. So many thoughts...

My mom fell ill unexpectedly two weeks ago. It was hard to push aside while sitting with my mom in hospice this weekend before she passed away.

I am so sorry about your mom. Tp loose her in such a short time from falling ill must be so devastating. I hope you have friends and family to share with. I hope your med team gets back to you in the next few days.

I had never heard of estradiol. I went to the doctor at 41 years old, as my period had been very sporadic. Pelvic ultrasound and found menopause was the diagnosis. I hope they find you a treatment that works for where you are now.

Take care of yourself.

I posted my stuff on your thread without realizing it until I saw katg's post. I'm following your thread and clicked on it when I read "second opinion." My apologies.
