My initial numbers were from a fine needle biopsy (A very small sample of tumor tissue). Once the tumor was taken out and tested , a couple of the numbers were significantly different, My PR %went from 42 to 0 , my KI 67 went from 21-30 to 6-10 . This changed my diagnosis from luminal A to Luminal B. Also , as soon as I found out the fine needle biopsy came back as ER + , I immediately stopped my estrogen replacement therapy which was probably responsible for lowering my KI 67 score … since it was 21 days before the mass was removed

@skhenderson54 wow, I kind of depended on them to tell me if anything changed since staging was done after surgery. I never checked (still a little shell shocked at the time I guess) but I’m going to go back to the post surgery report and see if they retested and if anything changed. I do think they sent the tumor in for recheck so should be there. Appreciate the input.

My oncologist told me that the ki67 numbers vary greatly depending on where in the tumor they are taken from. The pathologist would know this.
