Stage 1 lobular breast cancer, anyone no treatment after surgery?

@colleenyoung Yes, I have been . Mine was small and not aggressive- ER and PR pos and HER neg, KI-67 was 5. I had a lumpectomy and 5 radiation treatments. Just had a DEXA scan in case I decide to take an aromatase inhibitor- jury is still out on that, waiting for oncotype results. No chemo recommended, and the PredictBreast results show only a 0.2 benefit from aromatase inhibitors. Since I have a family history of cardiovascular issues, including vascular dementia, I’m seriously considering not taking an AI.

@spud62 for every stat you list my numbers are almost identical. I understand the fact you're contemplating not taking AIs. I made the decision not to and am a year out with clean scans so far. The odds are certainly hugely in your favor. Good luck!

@spud62 mine was almost exactly the same (I'm 72) & I am taking a half-dose (10 mg) of Tamoxifen to protect my bones. So far, so good!
