Hello! I was diagnosed with ER and PR positive, HER2 negative, Stage 1 breast cancer. My lymph nodes were clear, my Ki-67 was 30%, and my Oncotype score was 20.
I’m 45, and since younger women can have a higher risk of recurrence, we carefully reviewed the results. Based on the Oncotype score, my risk of recurrence was estimated at 6%, and the potential benefit from chemotherapy was less than 1%.
After discussing it with my oncologist, we decided not to proceed with chemotherapy and instead move forward with complete hormone blockade. I’m currently in induced menopause and taking aromatase inhibitors.
