Hi Straygirl,

I am 68 and had an Onco test in November 2019. My score was very low, 9 so no I didn't have chemo. I feel we are lucky to have had the advantage of such a test as it stops patients going through chemo when it would be more harmful to us than helpful. 
 

I believe avoiding chemo (if it's possible) is a positive. Like me you had clear margins and no lymph node involvement. All very helpful! Your oncologist will talk you through everything and explain the pros and cons of chemo. 
 

My treatment was a breast conserving op plus 15 sessions of radiotherapy. Hormone treatment was also prescribed for 5 years but I don't take them. My decision and of course a risk. But we have to do what we feel is right for us. The oncologist wasn't that bothered about my non compliance given the level of protection hormones offered me was tiny. I guess that's not true for many people. Anyway I am not advocating not taking hormone tablets!  Just saying they are not for me! 
 

I wish you well. Hope your next appt.  will help make everything clearer for you. Once there is a definite plan things take shape and somehow begin to feel more manageable. 
 

Good luck!!
