@windyshores According to my oncologist, chemo reduces the 9 year distant risk from 12% to 6-7%. It's possible endocrine therapy alone would do that but it's not really known for my subgroup (premenopausal, ER+ HER2-, etc.)

What does the Oncotype say?

My outcome on the Oncotype report was actually worse with chemo, despite the grade 3 and presumed fast proliferation rate. Is your tumor grade 3?

I got 4 opinions!

I wonder what being borderline hormonally implies for treatment!. Your doctor considers you premenopausal and knows about that situation but I wonder if your risk is lower than, say, a 35 year old. Curious what your doctor says about this .

Thinking ahead to decades in the future is hard, when starting at a younger age! I was 63 and even then I thought ahead for awhile.
