No breakthroughs in treatment really. Aromatase inhibitor for 3-5 years doesn't sound particularly appealing, or healthy, but it has a slight edge over tamoxifen for preventing recurance. Thanks to all for their encouragement. Be diligent about your health, mammograms alone are not very reliable. Much better to catch the disease early.
