Still sore over a year after breast cancer surgery - is this normal?

Hi, everyone. I’ve had this app for awhile just haven’t written anything. I was operated on November 28 , 2024. I just had a small lump. They also removed lymph nodes but it had not spread. I did radiation for about a month. Then I started the 5 year pill. I’m supposed to get another mammogram this week but been sick so I might change it. I’ve had one mammogram since surgery, only side that was operated on. This time will be both sides. It’s been over a year, still sore hope goes away soon. Any one wants to talk I also have facebook under Marzullo in chambersburg pa. Take care everyone.. I hope everyone is doing well.

What to expect from hormone therapy vs chemo for recurrent breast cancer?

I have hormone-positive breast cancer that has returned, and I'm postmenopausal. I previously had a lumpectomy and radiation. My oncologist is discussing treatment options including hormone-blocking medications like aromatase inhibitors with CDK4/6 inhibitors, or chemotherapy regimens. I'm trying to learn more about what to expect with these different approaches. I'd love to hear from others who have been in a similar situation and can share their experiences. • If you've had hormone therapy with CDK4/6 inhibitors for recurrent cancer, what was your experience like day to day? • For those who chose between hormone therapy and chemotherapy for recurrence, what factors helped you make that decision?
