Yes I have a Lumpectomy , I have a ductal breast cancer Luminal A in Stage 2. I had the opinion of 3 different oncologyst and 2 of them agreed that I have to wait for the results of the Oncotype and meanwhile I can go with the Hypofractionated Radiation which I finished last week. 5 days - 7 minutes each session. And I´m with Tamoxifen one month ago.
The other one wanted to start chemoteraphy right away for my age (43) , Ki67 30% and the size of the tumor (5 cm) . After they removed the tumor , it turns out to be much larger than the images where showing (1.5 cm) , however the limits of the tissue that they removed were clean and the lymph nodes were clean as well.
It seems that the results of the oncotype will come early this week , so I´m waiting to see what are the next steps. Trying to keep in my mind positive thoughts that I repeat to myself during meditation and I don´t let go my mind to future scenarios . That is helping me a lot.

Your treatment so far sounds like this was a good conclusion and the wait and see oncotype score will be carefully analyzed to weigh the necessity of Chemo right now or just to monitor closely your progress with Tamoxifen. Best to you and yr family!
