Chemo and cancer recurrence

Oncotype 43. Lumpectomy. Margins and lymph nodes clear. k67 73%. Had 4 Chemo treatments of Cyclo and Doce. 21 Radiation. Now on Anastrazole. I am 75 and active. All percentages bring me to about 90% in 10 years according to AI. I am 2 years out and most recent tumor markers are consistently 11 and MRI negative. Frankly, I thought chemo would kill me :). All told, I think I have had the best treatment they know of and continue in remission. Oh, and tumor size was small, 11 mm. or 1.1 Cm. I try to eat my fruits and veggies, exercise 3 times a week, keep my weight with a BMI of 21. Given the tumor was small but agressive I continue to have concerns, but really think I made all the right decisions. The mental is the worst part of this disease, believe it or not. I read articles that say they are looking intently into the PTSD factor that has been largely in the background but very real. Hope this helps

Omg absolutely yes!! I can't thank you enough for this information. By the way what type of cancer did you have and what stage? You have helped me so much

Hi!
You mention tumor markers.
Can you please elaborate or what exactly this is?
Thanks!
