Wondering if I'm taking the right path...

Thank you for sharing, Kathy. I have not heard anything about an oncotype score... It MIGHT have been mentioned after my last surgery, but I was obviously so out of it, who knows what she might have said. I believe chemo is on the radar as the follow-up nurse told me to make an appointment with the oncologist I consulted with a while back. I am still awaiting my post-op appt. with my surgeon next week. She's pretty thorough; just sucks that she went out of town a couple days after my surgery. I'm definitely staying diligent in following up!
Trying to keep in good spirits in the meantime.
Thank you.

@copingatround2 the Oncotype test is done on tumors that are ER+ and HER2- with up to 3 positive nodes. Many of us who would have had chemo before this kind of testing (Mammaprint is another one) avoided chemo as a result of a low score. I had a grade 3 cancer, highish Ki67%, lymphovascualar invasion and a positive then equivocal then negative HER2! I as headed for chemo but my Oncotype was 8. I did letrozole for 5 years after double mastectomy. No radiation or chemo. I am 10 years out knock on wood.
