I saw the oncologist yesterday. She said her main concern is quality of life versus being on a hormone suppression drug that gives me terrible side effects.
So, for now I am not on any hormone suppression meds and I see the oncologist in 3 months.
We still don’t know what causes the speech difficulties and they are ongoing at this point.
Since I received a complete pathological response (meaning I had no cancer in my body after the mastectomy), the oncologist feels that there is no reason to try any hormone suppression meds for the little gain in reduction of chances of recurrence.
