Hiya
I have recently been diagnosed with grade 3 invasive ductal cancer, lumph nodes clear, ER+, HER-2 negative. Tumor was 4.5cm. I had lumpectomy followed by two further surgeries for clear margins. Margins now clear after undergoing therapeutic reduction due to being a H cup this was an option.
My oncotype score came back as 20 (I have literally just turned 50). I have spoken to oncologist about chemo and he has said that the benefit of chemo is only 1.5% so the side effects outweigh that benefit. Has anyone else had a similar dilemma and what did you decide. I thought I had made my decision about chemo but have read many other posts on here where many have had chemo but there is no mention of oncotype score.
I will be having radiotherapy and taking tamoxifen for 5 year. Just hope I make the right decision.
