Stage 1 lobular breast cancer, anyone no treatment after surgery?
Breast Cancer | Last Active: Aug 26 11:03am | Replies (66)Comment receiving replies
I am considering surgery only, but have only found a few people that took that route! Just had a lumpectomy, mucinous carcinoma, ER+, PR-, HER2-, histologic grade I. 2.0 cm. I would really appreciate connecting with others who have chosen to not have further treatment. I'm getting a second opinion, because my first oncologist wants to do it all; chemo, radiation, and Endocrine therapy.

You should have the Oncotype DX to see if you need chemo.
I had 30 radiation sessions after a lumpectomy which were not unpleasant. Stage 1b and I will not have endocrine therapy.I am 77 and have used HRT for 25 years.I intend to continue with it as the advantages in spite of the breast cancer are formidable; no osteoporosis ,no Alzeimer’s and no heart disease.My 2 older sisters have both of these ailments unfortunately.

I had the same diagnosis with the exception I had 2.5. Not needed chemo, radiation was 5 days only. This was done to kill any leftover cells. I strongly suggest that you do the radiation. Go online to read Dr. Bodia 30-year research about our cancer. I met him. Wonderful man. He created the pink ribbon for Cancer. Hope this helps. He applauded for not taking any drugs.
