First of all I wish I hadn’t googled this term. I had a mastectomy 20 years ago and recently had a recurrence of breast cancer at the sight of this previous operation. I had an excision under local anaesthetic for invasive lobular cancer grade 2 ER +. I was then told that the margins were not enough from this first op so had revision surgery under general anaesthetic. I have recently had the results of that surgery and have been informed that although the superior margin is clear there is still some infiltration in the skeletal wall. They can not operate again as they would hit my ribs. I have been prescribed Letrozole for 5 years. I am 74 years old. However I quickly googled Infiltration in skeletal muscle and wished I hadn’t as prognosis didn’t look good. I never read it fully and don’t know how old the information was. As my husband was not able to attend my appointments I may have not realised the seriousness of this diagnosis. I must say the surgeon just said they could not be 100% sure they had got everything but thought and hoped Letroxole would block a recurrence. Has anyone else been in my position?
