Frustrated by dangerous misinformation in breast cancer support groups?

The amount of nonsense I see posted on breast cancer treatment and support groups is beginning to make me angry and depressed. Women advocating women with breast cancer to forego treatment, relying on religion for a cure and foregoing allopathic medicine approaches. I have nothing against religion, but it cannot, under any circumstances, cure cancer. Go ahead, ask your rabbi, pastor, priest, imam or other leaders. All the honest ones will reinforce my statement. I know someone who went to Mexico for 'holistic' cures. She was dead in 6 months. There is NO reasonable evidence based to support soursop or bitter apricot seeds, or any of the other crap I've seen recommended here, and on other social media sites. I beg you all. Stop posting unfounded nonsense. You will only hurt the women you purport to want to help.

What does linear non-mass enhancement on breast MRI mean after cancer?

Merry Christmas to all🌲🌟. I had a lumpectomy 3.5 years ago for a HER2-negative, ER/PR-positive breast cancer with an Oncotype DX score of 14. I received radiation therapy after the lumpectomy and was initially on tamoxifen; since July 2025, I have been taking anastrozole. On December 5th, I had a breast MRI with the following finding: Linear non-mass enhancement with progressive/plateau kinetics and a rapid initial phase, measuring 7 × 3 × 3 mm, located in the right breast at the 7:00 position, 7 cm from the nipple. The radiologist recommended an MRI-guided biopsy to exclude DCIS. Has anyone had a similar situation? I am very anxious and terrified that this could be cancer again. Did anyone have a similar situation?

Has anyone else been prescribed Letrozole for breast cancer treatment?

My oncologist ordered a DexA scan 12 months after my primary ordered one: the results were negative for osteoporosis. However, my orthopedic specialist discovered that I had osteoarthritis 3 months ago and prescribed Meloxicam. It only took my oncologist 10 months to prescribe Letrozole, after I had received adjuvant chemo prior to one surgery last year and 12 rounds of chemo following surgery for Stage II breast cancer. Has anyone else been prescribed Letrozole?
